Dayforce, Inc., a global human capital management (HCM) leader that makes work life better, today announced that Funlab, a leading entertainment and hospitality company known for creating immersive social experiences, has expanded its use of the Dayforce™ platform to support its growing workforce in the United States, now encompassing more than 2,500 employees across Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.

With a single source of truth for its global workforce, Funlab has brought HR, pay, time, talent, and analytics together to help streamline operations, strengthen compliance, and support a more connected employee experience across every region. 

“We were operating across multiple geographies and disparate systems and didn’t have a clear, complete view of our people. At times, it felt like we were flying blind when it came to global reporting and understanding engagement across countries,” said Chelsea Mannix, Chief People Officer at Funlab. “Dayforce changed that. Bringing our people data into a single system has given us consistent visibility across regions, reduced manual work for our team, and strengthened accountability and compliance across our global footprint. Most importantly, it’s given us greater confidence in how we make decisions as we scale.” 

Funlab initially implemented Dayforce in Australia and New Zealand, replacing four fragmented systems across payroll, workforce management, and talent with a single platform. The transformation delivered immediate efficiencies – including saving up to five days in onboarding new employees – while establishing a scalable HCM foundation for expansion into the U.S. market. 

“When you’re expanding across borders, complexity multiplies fast. Without real-time visibility, compliance risk and operational friction follow,” said Rob Husband, Head of Revenue for APJ, Dayforce. “Funlab chose Dayforce to simplify that complexity. By bringing their global people data together on a single platform, they’ve built the operational backbone to scale globally — with compliance, agility, and employee experience working together.”
