Integrating Workday with imper.ai allows the platform to securely ingest key HR attributes, such as employee details, reporting structure, and contact information, and use them as trusted inputs in verification workflows.

By leveraging Workday as a source of truth, imper.ai can generate dynamic, identity-specific challenge questions that reflect accurate, real-time workforce data. This strengthens identity assurance and improves the precision of verification decisions.
