From Hire to Retire: Supporting the employee experience at every stage of the public sector workforce journey.

The federal government is at a critical juncture, with a pressing need to modernize its human capital management (HCM) systems to meet evolving mission demands and workforce expectations. This is a pivotal time to re-imagine the employee experience of the federal workforce, as effective HCM is a strategic imperative for the government.

Workday Federal Forum will explore how AI capabilities are unlocking new efficiencies across the federal HR lifecycle—from recruitment and skills-based strategies to workforce planning and employee engagement.

This forum explores how transforming while modernizing can empower agencies to restore strategic capabilities to HR. Learn how to build an adaptable, resilient, and mission-ready workforce. Discover AI's role in accelerating skills-based hiring, streamlining decision-making, and enabling HR teams to prioritize strategic, human-centered work.
