At its annual Outsmart conference in Palm Springs, California, Visier announced a wave of innovations for its Workforce AI solution designed to connect talent directly to business outcomes. By unifying people and operational data into a structured knowledge layer, Visier aims to provide leaders with the contextual guidance necessary to manage workforce transformations at scale. The latest updates focus on closing the widening gap between data analytics and decisive action, ensuring that workforce intelligence is integrated into the daily workflows of managers and executives.
Action-Oriented AI: Visier Workforce AI now goes beyond data visualization to provide guided "decision blueprints" for leaders.
Glean MCP Integration: A new connection via Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows users to access Visier’s governed people data directly within the Glean AI assistant.
Real-Time Planning: New features for demand, skills, and action planning ensure workforce strategies reflect current market realities rather than outdated data.
Flow-of-Work Access: Insights are now surfaced directly within existing enterprise tools, eliminating the need for context switching between platforms.
Vast Data Foundation: The solution is built on a Workforce Intelligence layer informed by data from over 2 million users.
Scalable Transformation: The platform supports over 85,000 customers globally, helping them navigate AI-driven shifts in workforce structure.
Many organizations struggle with "noise"—investing heavily in analytics that never result in measurable business changes. Visier’s new capabilities address this paradox by connecting siloed HR systems to a centralized intelligence layer. This ensures that strategies do not stall and that investments in talent programs prove their impact through operational efficiency and market leadership.
"The gap between insights and action has never been wider in businesses. Organizations invest heavily in analytics, planning tools, and talent programs, yet struggle to coordinate them into action that makes a measurable difference for the business," the company noted during the announcement.
A highlight of the conference was the announcement of the Glean MCP Connection. This integration allows employees and managers to query workforce insights without leaving their primary AI search environment. By making highly governed data available inside the Glean ecosystem, Visier enables faster and more informed decision-making.
"Our customers have Glean and Visier, but when it comes to workforce questions leaders were forced to jump between solutions to get a complete view of their people," said Dave Weisbeck, Chief Strategy Officer, Visier. "Our MCP integration revolutionizes that by making Visier's highly governed people data available right inside Glean. Insights that used to require a context switch are now integrated into the flow of how decisions get made. Which makes work faster and decisions smarter."
Traditional workforce planning often relies on static data that becomes obsolete by the time a plan is implemented. Visier is solving this by integrating organizational design and skills planning into a connected experience. This allows large enterprises to account for emerging skills gaps and shifting roles in real-time, ensuring that organizational design decisions are never made in isolation.
The Glean MCP Connection and the updated Workforce AI capabilities are scheduled for general availability beginning in May 2026.
