Through natural-language conversation, they can perform workforce scenario modeling for their organization, assess different options with stakeholders, and understand the impact of potential decisions before committing resources.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The agent runs an organizational health diagnostic to surface workforce hotspots and measure the cost of potential changes, including both headcount and AI token costs. Leaders can then add or change positions, update structure and productivity assumptions, and see the second- and third-order effects in real time.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

That model breaks when some of the work can be augmented by an AI agent,” said Jake Varghese, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Dayforce, Inc. “Leaders need to plan the work first: what has to get done, which skills it takes, and whether people or agents should do it. Because the Dayforce Agentic HCM Platform connects the workforce data, structure, costs, and outputs behind the plan, those decisions don’t have to stay in a spreadsheet.”The announcement was made at Dayforce Discover, the company’s flagship customer conference, where Dayforce unveiled its Agentic HCM Platform — weaving native AI across a more open, connected platform to help organizations get answers, take action, complete work, and build what’s next for their businesses.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Built on Dayforce’s single data model, the Strategic Workforce Planning Agent brings together people, skills, organizational structure, and costs in one view. Leaders can see the skills their organization has today, the skills each position requires, how well the person in that position matches those requirements, and where gaps exist. They can also identify where an AI agent can augment work, which work should remain with a person, and which can be shared between people and agents.Because planning and execution happen on the same Dayforce platform, organizations can move from a workforce-planning conversation to action with greater confidence.AvailabilitySelect Dayforce AI Agent capabilities are available now, with Strategic Workforce Planning Agent expected to become available in Q1 2027.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Dayforce makes work life better.
