Manager Workflow Agent
Prepares approvals, reporting and people workflows for front-line managers.
The problem. Front-line managers lose a day a week to administration — approvals, reporting, documentation and chasing — which is time not spent with customers or their teams.
The agent assembles the manager's day: approvals awaiting them with the context needed to decide, team metrics with what changed, and drafts for the documentation they owe.
It drafts performance notes, one-to-one prep, shift adjustments and headcount requests from real system data — the manager reviews and submits.
Nothing is submitted on the manager's behalf: it is an assistive agent by design, because these are people decisions.
Managers hop between HRIS, WFM and reporting tools, and administrative work spills into evenings.
Managers arrive at a prepared decision list and spend their time deciding rather than assembling.

Integration surface

- BI and operational reporting
- Collaboration surface
Guardrails & human oversight
- Assistive only: the manager reviews and submits every action.
- People data is scoped strictly to the manager's own reporting line.
- Every action outside policy stops at a reviewer queue with the agent's reasoning, evidence and proposed change attached.
- Performance and disciplinary drafts are clearly marked as drafts and never auto-filed.
What has to be true first
- Accurate reporting-line data in HRIS.
- Read access to WFM and operational metrics.
- Agreement with HR on what the agent may draft.
Security, data & compliance
- Runs under a dedicated service identity with least-privilege, per-tool scopes — never a shared admin account.
- Customer and employee data stays inside your tenancy and region; no training on your data by default.
- PII is redacted before it reaches a model, and prompts, responses and tool calls are retained under your retention policy.
- Every tool call, input, decision and system write is logged and replayable for audit and model-risk review.
