How Workday Uses AI to Personalize Corporate Learning
Many companies give workers the same training courses, even when their jobs and needs are different.
Workday says artificial intelligence can make learning more personal.
The system can suggest lessons based on a worker’s role, skills, and career plans.
Workers can also ask questions about a problem they are handling and receive a targeted answer.
Sana Learn can turn documents and presentations into interactive courses.
It also includes an AI tutor to help people understand difficult material.
Workday says this can increase engagement and make course creation much faster.
However, people still need to check AI-created content and protect private workforce information.
Workday says AI can replace generic corporate courses with learning tailored to employees’ roles, skills, and career goals.
Conversational search lets employees ask workflow-specific questions and receive answers for particular situations.
Sana Learn combines a learning management system, AI authoring, and a virtual classroom with a personal AI tutor.
The platform claims up to three times higher learner engagement and up to 98 percent shorter content-creation times.
Workday emphasizes permissioned data, privacy, security, and human review when deploying AI-powered learning tools.
