Workday's second act: Bhusri returns as AI fears hit and revenue growth slows to 13%

Workday's cofounder Aneel Bhusri has returned as chief executive officer of the enterprise software firm, taking back the job in February. He had handed it to Carl Eschenbach in 2024, according to Fortune. The company, which makes human resources, finance, payroll, and planning software, faces fears that AI agents will make per-seat software obsolete. Revenue growth has slowed to 13%, and Workday has gone through several rounds of layoffs. Activist investor Elliott Management is reportedly "lurking in the wings." In 2018, Workday topped the Fortune Future 50. Its software ran critical operations for half of the Fortune 50 and more than 35% of the Fortune 500.

Straiker brings independent AI agent red-teaming to Workday Agent Passport

Straiker, a security startup, is integrating its Ascend AI red-teaming platform with Workday Agent Passport, the trust layer of Workday's Agent System of Record. It is the first independent security partner to red-team agents built by Workday customers and partners for Workday Marketplace. Ascend AI tests each agent for prompt injection, tool misuse, data leakage, and other attack paths. Straiker submits signed results to Agent Passport. Where they cover a Workday-defined Stamp, such as Prompt Injection Resistance, Workday issues a cryptographically signed Stamp tied to the tested agent version. Customers see an agent's Stamps before installing it, and each decides which Stamps its agents must hold. Workday alone issues Stamps, so the party that tests an agent never vouches for it. Ascend AI is available now. The integration is targeted for Agent Passport's general availability.

Commutifi launches AI agents to manage the $1T commuting category inside Workday

Commutifi launched two products on October 13, 2026: the Commutifi MCP, which links its platform to AI tools companies already use, and the Workday Commute Agent Suite, built on it. Together they bring commute management into Workday, where users can run programs by asking Workday's Sana, Claude, or ChatGPT. Commuting is a $1 trillion category in the US, yet less than 1% of commute data reaches Workday. The suite pulls parking, transit, shuttle, vanpool, and benefits data into one system alongside existing employee and location data. Specialist agents compare commute options, assess parking leases, and trace costs to contracts. Each agent acts only within the user's permissions, and nothing is booked or spent without explicit approval. Workday is testing the suite at its Boulder, Colorado office. Both products are in early access, with general availability within the month.

Workday's Aneel Bhusri returns as CEO to fight AI disruption after $1B Sana deal

Workday has brought back cofounder Aneel Bhusri as chief executive officer, as the software maker faces pressure from artificial intelligence (AI). He returned in February after co-chief Carl Eschenbach left, having stepped back in 2024. Revenue grew 13% in the latest fiscal year, its slowest pace in years, and the company has had several rounds of layoffs. Its shares have swung between $300 and $112, and activist investor Elliott Management holds a $2 billion stake. Workday bought Swedish AI startup Sana for more than $1 billion six months ago. In August, reports said it was in talks with private equity firm Silver Lake about going private; shares rose about 18%. Bhusri says he came back "for the long run," not to sell.
