How does Semos Cloud integrate with Workday?

Semos Cloud connects to Workday through documented APIs and defined data flows, reading org structure, compensation, performance, and life-event data in real time. Celebrate Inside Workday is a dedicated native app built on Workday Extend and runs directly inside the Workday interface.

Can organizations deploy Semos Cloud modules independently?

Yes. You can start with one or two modules and expand across the full Semos Cloud platform over time. Every module runs on the same Workday integration, so adding new programs does not require additional implementation work.

How long does a Workday deployment take?

Most Workday customers go live inside 6 to 10 weeks, scoped to your environment. Implementation CSAT across Semos Cloud deployments is 97%, with 90% adoption inside 90 days.

What Workday data does Semos Cloud store?

Only the fields your programs require, configured and controlled by your HR IT team. Semos Cloud syncs a minimized subset of Workday data, encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). No data is cached in intermediate systems.

Does Semos Cloud support Workday SSO?

Yes. Employees and managers access Semos Cloud through their existing Workday credentials, with no separate login or identity layer to maintain.

Celebrate Inside Workday

Built on Workday Extend, Celebrate Inside Workday reads milestone data from Workday HCM and surfaces celebration moments directly inside the Workday interface.

How it works

Go from connection to measurable workforce impact through a structured three-step model.

Connect

Semos Cloud's implementation team scopes the integration against your Workday environment, maps the fields your programs need, and validates the setup through the Workday certification process.

Enrich

Semos Cloud reads Workday job, org, compensation, and life-event data in real time, enriching recognition, total rewards, communications, and Manager Agents with live workforce data.

Act

Managers, peers, and employees access Semos Cloud through Workday SSO, with every action writing back to the audit trail through your existing Workday roles and permissions.

Built for Workday

Documented APIs, configurable data flows, and enterprise security standards, built for the IT and security teams that govern your Workday environment

Workday-native integration

Semos Cloud integrates with Workday through documented APIs and defined data flows. Recognition, total rewards, communications, and Manager Agents pull live workforce data directly from your Workday environment.

Designed for Workday's agent architecture

Semos Cloud agents are MCP and A2A-native, designed to plug into the Workday Agent System of Record via Agent Gateway and surface inside Sana for Workday. Workday customers manage Semos agents alongside native Workday agents: roles, skills, compliance, and impact in one place.

Real-time Workday data sync

Org structure, compensation, performance, and life-event fields read in real time through documented Workday APIs. No overnight batch jobs, no stale data, no duplicate records.

Enterprise-grade security

All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). OAuth 2.0 authentication. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR aligned. Your security team gets the documentation they need, not assurances.

Audit logging through Workday roles

Every recognition, communication, reward, and Manager Agent action logs against Workday roles and permissions. Your IT team exports logs directly to the SIEM tools they already run.

Why Workday customers choose Semos Cloud

Darla Schroeder

Senior Vice President HR, Ryan Specialty

“Working with Semos Cloud marks an exciting next step in how we celebrate our people. For years, we’ve honored service milestones through meaningful swag that reflects our appreciation.

It’s a natural evolution, one that strengthens our culture and brings recognition closer to our everyday work.”
