What is Workday?

Workday is enterprise software for human resources, payroll and finance, used to manage workers, hiring, time off, compensation, suppliers and invoices. Finding the right record and completing routine steps can take many clicks. This connection lets Fabric's assistant do much of it for you, in plain language.
