Wayside January 2025 Product Update

Wayside is thrilled to unveil three powerful new features that make Wayside’s AI-assisted employee support platform even smarter and more effective for your HR team.

Workday Help Syncing

We’ve heard from countless HR teams struggling with employees bypassing Workday’s case management in favor of Slack.

Wayside solves this with a seamless Slack interface that syncs effortlessly with Workday Help, allowing HR teams to manage support requests across platforms without friction.

Channel Deployments with Smart Mentions

With Wayside’s new automated Slack deployments, your team can resolve employee requests without lifting a finger—just tag the integration.

Smart mentions ensure the right team members are always involved in key threads, eliminating the risk of unresolved issues or missed stakeholders. Customizable topic-based rules make sure every request is routed to the right person, streamlining workflows and improving response times.

Automated Service Team Reminders for Open Requests

Unanswered employee requests can erode trust. To prevent this, Wayside now tracks open threads across emails, Slacks, and cases, sending reminders before anything slips through the cracks.

With AI-powered reminders, your team will never miss an unresolved request, ensuring employees feel heard and supported every step of the way.
