Meet Workday Assistant

Workday Assistant is now available! This feature is an AI chatbot built directly into Workday, making it easier than ever to get things done using natural language. Whether you're managing your own tasks or supporting your team, Workday Assistant can help you do things such as:

• Request time off 
• Find information about the employees you manage  
• Update personal information 
• Search for and launch tasks, reports, and business processes 
• Access step-by-step help articles and training content as you work 

Once you sign into Workday, a small chat bubble is located at the top right of the screen. If you click on the icon, you are accessing Workday Assistant and can begin interacting with it. 

You’ll start seeing more tips and demonstrations on using Workday Assistant this fall. To learn more, check out the Help Article. 

Now Available: Workday Student Leader & Liaison Rosters

As part of GVSU’s transition to Workday Student, two important support groups have been established: the Workday Leader Network and the Workday Student Liaisons. These individuals will play a key role in facilitating a smooth and successful implementation across the university. 

Each college or area has designated one or more representatives to serve in these groups, acting as resources and communication bridges throughout the project. We invite you to explore the full rosters to see who is representing your area:
