HR just got smarter: Say hello to Sia

Written by Thea Dahlmann | 25 april 2025
The role of HR has transformed dramatically in recent years. As organisations grow more complex and employee expectations rise, the pressure on HR teams to deliver fast, accurate, and personalized support has never been greater.
That's why we built Sia – Simployer Intelligent Assistant. 

At Simployer, we’ve listened closely to the challenges our customers face, navigating mountains of information, answering recurring questions, and supporting managers and employees across diverse needs and systems. 

Sia was developed to empower HR professionals, managers, and employees with instant access to the insights and information they need - when and where they need it. We believe HR should be both strategic and simple. With Sia, we’re making that a reality, bringing automation, intelligence, and accessibility into everyday workflows, without compromising on compliance, accuracy, or the human touch.

AI-powered HR assistance at your fingertips

We are thrilled to announce the latest addition to Simployer One - our new AI-powered assistant, Sia. Built to transform the way HR professionals, managers and employees interact with HR data and company information. With an advanced AI engine deeply integrated into the Simployer HRM system, Sia brings context-aware, real-time assistance directly to your workflow.

Whether you're looking up your own HR data, gaining insights into your team, or reviewing organization-wide analytics, Sia delivers instant support. The assistant is seamlessly integrated in the Simployer HRM system and available in Microsoft Teams and Slack, making it easier for employees and managers to access in tools they are already using.
