Overall Satisfaction with Ceridian Dayforce
We are using it across the entire organization as our HR system of record. My involvement primarily is with reporting, analytics and with the Compensation Module. We are also an early-user of the Learning Module and are transitioning our performance review process into Dayforce, as well. My organization had previously been using Ceridian for payroll and has had the full HCM active for just over one year now. It is showing significant efficiencies in HR in terms of manager self-service, record maintenance and overall tracking/interaction of the various HR processes.
- Integration with payroll & benefits -- everything is tied together and can be reviewed comprehensively more easily.
- Reporting flexibility -- allowing the user to customize reports even when it's only a one-time customization (as opposed to a permanent change to a report), the user can run and see the results of their query.
- Exports to Excel -- an extremely valuable feature available from many key areas of the system; allows self-service users to view & work with their data in a spreadsheet environment that may be more familiar to them and also allow a look at "what if" outside of making changes in Dayforce.
- Test environment is a must! A great tool to practice or test what-if scenarios.
- Search boxes, position & employee names --- very specific and particular; sometimes a partial name does not lead to a successful search, even though the item is in the database.
- Concatenated fields in the Compensation Module -- seems like the module, although very useful and valuable, was put together by developers only with no input from a Compensation expert; modules and updates should include subject matter experts to improve the user-interface for specific tasks or areas.
- Org charts -- very useful tools, but cannot easily export them to a useful format.
- More timely & accurate tracking of new hires.
- Significantly improving manager self-service with less reliance on HR to complete things on behalf of the manager.
- Significantly improved visibility of organizational data -- jobs, comp, organization changes, employee profile info, etc.
- Analytics -- just beginning to use, but will significantly enhance leadership quick-views on various data points, and aid in developing presentations to leadership covering snapshots (e.g., as of today) as well as period data (e.g., quarterly overview).
New additions that allow a quick compilation of EEOC reporting is tremendous, and just in time for the Component 2 requirement in 2019! Tracking of diversity demographics will significantly simplify compliance with reporting requirements, as well as provide more timely and accurate data-points to support internal decisions.
Significantly improved timeliness and data accuracy, creating the potential for much more effective and timely decisions in a variety of HR areas.
Greatly simplifies many processes, and provides much more timely review of data. And reporting/analytics allows the creation of more comprehensive reports without going to multiple sources and then manually pulling together in Excel, etc., to provide a single over-view of an employee, an organization or a specific segment.
