Are you able to foster an adaptable workforce through an intelligent understanding of the skills you need today and in the future?
If you’re a Workday user, you now have the ability to access AI-powered skills intelligence—built directly into Workday. This will help you better understand the skills your organization needs to stay competitive and harness the full potential of your organization’s talent.

Here’s what using SkyHive and Workday together means:
1
Super-charging your Workday investment
SkyHive’s patented use of machine learning to generate skill data means lower training costs (because learning is focused on specific skill gaps); reduced attrition costs; and higher employee engagement due to employees’ ability to see career pathways. SkyHive augments your existing skills data (like Merck did), enriching your internal data with external data and ensuring that you can achieve maximum value from your Workday suite investment. This deeper skills intelligence results in better matches of candidates to jobs and more powerful opportunities for employees to pursue gigs, learning opportunities, and internal mobility.

Fewer integration headaches
Chances are, you struggle with integration and getting your HR systems to “talk to each other.” SkyHive is the only technology in the world that can normalize data objects from multiple technologies -- in other words, translate data so your systems all speak the same language -- across the HR tech stack. It acts as a Human Capital Operating System for all your talent technologies (full time or contingent labor).
