Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce

It is used by 100% employees minimally, but by about 60% for all HR, WFM, benefits, payroll, and self service features. Dayforce allows us to not only handle but develop, streamline, and maintain most all HR, payroll, recruiting, and talent management processes. We have been able to leverage its technological advances to become a more effective HR department. Our goal is to grow from an administrative department to a strategic business partner for operations, and Dayforce is helping us do that.
  • Ever expanding features
  • One stop shop
  • Real time updates
  • Support system for clients
  • Training and development for clients
  • Releases are too quick with fixes coming after rather than before rollouts
  • Streamlined processes
  • Reduced paper usage
  • Increased executive visibility of manager processes
EEO-1 reporting, OSHA reporting, minimum wages, tax compliance.

I would add that the org setup was not implemented the most efficient way for us to complete compliance reporting successfully. It would have been helpful to understand how the org setup would affect these compliance reports before it was set up.
It has been helpful, but leaves more to desire. We find that since the modules have different product owners, sometimes they aren't coordinating feature releases that may have an impact on another module simultaneaously. Also, the documents and information that is built by the different modules, should be summarized and accessible from the 1 HR employee record.
We do see a huge benefit in real time payroll updates when there are HR, or WFM changes for an employee. The previous vendor we had would be dependent on files that would overwrite each other, so this has always been an improvement.
I really like Ceridian. I like the customization capabilities, I like its evolving nature. However, my boss and other management executives may not see it the same way. I think they may be used to other vendor's strategies where they have a hand holding rep that is dedicated to the client.
