WorkJam, a digital workplace platform for hourly workers, has launched AI-Enabled Employee Self-Service module.

The artificial intelligence technology lets employees have a conversation with WorkJam and receive information as if they were talking to their manager. Employees can use natural speech and text to simplify and speed up common requests such as checking their latest schedule, requesting a change, adding availability, or picking up new shifts, the company said.

“Giving employees and managers the tools to speak or text naturally into their phones and get immediate actionable information within WorkJam is a game changer,” said Steven Kramer, president and CEO of WorkJam. “By enhancing the employee communication experience through AI, we are enabling organizations to be more agile, more productive and more profitable, while simultaneously improving employee engagement.”

WorkJam will introduce this solution at ShopTalk, which takes place March 19-22, 2017 at the ARIA in Las Vegas.
