Staffbase Is One of the First Companies Worldwide to Integrate with Workday Sana via A2A
NEW YORK - October 9, 2026
New integration brings Workday HR self-service into Staffbase Navigator for every employee, with particular impact for frontline workers
Staffbase, the AI-powered employee experience software, today announced that it is one of the first companies worldwide to integrate with Workday Sana via Workday's Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol. The integration connects the Sana Self-Service Agent to Staffbase Navigator, Staffbase's AI assistant, bringing Workday HR tasks directly into the tool employees already use daily.
Frontline employees spend their shifts away from a desk, which often leaves little time to access a separate system. An estimated 80% of the global workforce is considered frontline or deskless. By connecting Sana's agent layer to Staffbase Navigator, Staffbase brings Workday's HR self-service capabilities into the Employee Superapp deskless employees already use, giving them a practical and easy way to do it.
The integration lets employees using Staffbase Navigator check absence balances and time-off status, submit absence requests, view payslips and tax forms and check in and out of shifts and log hours, all pulled directly from Workday. Depending on which capabilities a customer's Workday admin turns on, employees can also update personal data, view compensation and benefits details, and use career and manager self-service tools. Employees authenticate once with their own Workday account, so every action runs under their existing Workday permissions.
“AI is reshaping how employees get answers and get work done, but that shift usually reaches people at a desk first, not the frontline,” said Martin Böhringer, CEO & co-founder of Staffbase. "This integration puts Workday’s own AI agent to work inside Staffbase Navigator’s governed experience, making it easier for frontline employees to get the HR information they need right where they already work.”
Beyond HR, Staffbase is positioned to connect to additional Workday agents that use the same A2A protocol through configuration rather than a new technical build. Workday controls which agents are available to its customers, and each customer’s own Workday admin decides which tools to expose to their Sana agent; once both are in place, Staffbase expects new Workday capabilities to reach Navigator without a lengthy new integration project.
Staffbase made the integration available to early adopter customers earlier this month. It will be generally available to all Staffbase Navigator customers on October 21, 2026.
