Blink + Workday: Better together for your frontline workforce

Bring Workday to the frontline with Blink.

Workday is a powerful tool for managing your people — but it wasn’t purpose built for the fast-moving, deskless workforce. For the 80% of global employees who aren’t sitting behind a screen all day, accessing HR tools, staying informed, and engaging with their organization can be a challenge.

That’s where Blink comes in. As a mobile-first employee experience platform, Blink extends the value of Workday to every employee — no matter where or how they work. In this session, we’ll explore how Blink helps HR and comms teams close the gap between Workday’s capabilities and the needs of a distributed workforce.

Up for discussion:

• Workday + Blink: Bringing HR, internal comms, and access into one digital workplace
• The intranet challenge: Where traditional tools fall short for frontline teams
• Industry insights: How organizations in retail, logistics, and more are leading the way
• A better experience: Live demo and use cases of Blink’s integration with Workday

Who should attend:

• HR and internal comms leaders looking to engage every employee
• Workday customers looking to increase adoption and accessibility
• IT and operations decision-makers supporting distributed teams
