Employee Handbooks, from Import to Re-Signing — import an employee handbook and track signatures
HR teams can import a Word or PDF handbook into Policy Hub and get a draft with cover, contents and sign-off pages set aside, while AI proposes who the handbook is for from the places the document names, with head counts from your own records. Employees can sign the whole handbook in one sitting, including chapters that need a full signature, and HR can add it to a new hire's onboarding plan as a single item. HR can see who has not signed, send reminders, and ask people to sign again with a list of only the chapters that changed for them, and employees can use Ask about this chapter to get answers from the version that applies to them.
Use case: An HR manager imports the company's Washington handbook, confirms it applies only to the people based there, adds it to the new-hire onboarding plan, and after a later revision asks everyone to sign again so each employee sees what changed.
Available in: Policy Hub → Handbooks → Import a Handbook, and a published handbook → More actions → Ask everyone to sign again
Team-Owned Automations in Loop — workflow automation with employee input and scheduled runs
Administrators can now give people outside the admin team access to build and run automations, with publishing kept as a separate review. An automation run by hand can stop and ask that person for information on a secure page on the web or a phone, and a schedule runs only within limits its owner has authorized. Starter automations for personal follow-ups, weekly reviews and confirmed Workday Learning completions open as editable drafts, so teams can adapt one instead of starting from nothing.
Use case: A team lead given automation access builds a weekly follow-up that creates their review task, has it approved for publishing, and authorizes it to run on a schedule.
