Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY) introduced Work Intelligence, a tool designed to help companies analyze how artificial intelligence is affecting individual job tasks and the skills employees will need, according to a company press release. The announcement was made at Workday Rising 2026 in Las Vegas on Oct. 13, 2026.

Work Intelligence breaks jobs into individual tasks, maps those tasks to required skills, and helps leaders plan workforce development as AI changes the nature of work. The tool is built on Workday Skills Cloud, which is used by more than 3,450 customers and draws on an ontology of more than 75,000 canonical skills.

The product is designed to work alongside Workday Decision Intelligence, which can help quantify the cost and time differences between developing existing employees' skills internally versus hiring externally. It also integrates with Workday Learning, powered by Sana, to generate personalized training paths based on identified skill gaps.

Work Intelligence is intended to allow leaders to measure changes in how employee time is allocated, which skills are growing, and whether workers are moving into new roles as AI tools are adopted. The company says neither Work Intelligence nor Decision Intelligence makes decisions about individual employees.

Nikki Helmer, vice president of talent management and insights at Workday, said in the release: "Work Intelligence gives leaders the data to thoughtfully redesign roles, build careers, and help people grow into what's next."

The 2026 Workday Global Workforce Report, cited in the release, found that 76% of heavy AI users expect AI to create new career opportunities.

Work Intelligence is currently available to early access Workday Human Capital Management customers.
