Drive workforce productivity and engagement with Dayforce Career Explorer and Burnout Dashboard

Organizations are facing increased pressure to meet performance goals in a complex economic environment. That means leaders are performing a constant balancing act between flexibility and compliance, empathy and productivity, and employee expectations and budget realities. On the employee side, workers are struggling to keep up, with 87% of respondents in our 14th Annual Pulse of Talent study reporting that they’d experienced symptoms of burnout in the past year, along with a third who believe there’s a different role with their employer that would better match their skillset.  

Best-in-class organizations have recognized that it’s impossible for leaders to balance worker wellness and team performance through purely manual efforts. Individual employees’ priorities can change over time, as does the makeup of the workforce itself and the goals of the organization. That’s why these companies are investing in technologies that help leaders achieve a “living” balance between the needs of employees and those of the organization to make work life better for all.  

In keeping with this mission, Dayforce has introduced two new product releases that will help organizations boost employee wellness and business performance at the same time: Dayforce Career Explorer and Burnout Dashboard.      

Empower your people to navigate their careers with Dayforce Career Explorer

Organizations have an opportunity to improve retention and productivity through internal talent mobility, which is what Dayforce Career Explorer delivers. This new product is designed to help your organization facilitate career advancement, career exploration, and skills development. It helps increase internal mobility by leveraging the skills employees have to help them find new opportunities within the organization.

Dayforce Career Explorer is assisted by machine learning that learns from employee goals and interests to build personal career plans. Another stand-out feature includes notifications and progress tracking to help your employees stay up to date with their development plans.

Dayforce Career Explorer has a mobile-first user interface, allowing employers to put career planning right in the hands of their employees, with a progress tracking feature to help employees stay on top of their goals. Wherever they are, Dayforce Career Explorer can help employees find new opportunities to grow and re-invigorate their careers without leaving the organization, helping to directly improve your company’s performance and increase employee retention.

Get ahead of employee burnout with Burnout Dashboard

Dayforce has a built-in burnout indicator that uses data from across our HCM platform. This tool helps managers by providing a comprehensive view across an organization with built-in tips on how to reduce burnout, which can help companies improve employee morale, reduce turnover, and lower operating expenses. This is important because many professionals have linked burnout to voluntary employee turnover. And according to Psychology Today, burnout is estimated to cost U.S. organizations between $150 to $350 billion annually.

Our detailed Burnout Dashboard features an organization-wide view of burnout trends, details on how exhaustion and efficacy are contributing to burnout, and the ability to pinpoint specific issues by department or location, to help organizations make critical data-driven decisions.

Our Burnout Dashboard also allows you to help measure how effective your new burnout strategies are. By seeing when employees are trending toward burnout, leaders can better explore options such as changing their role, leader, responsibilities, or organization. Internal mobility can be a way to retain an employee that has burned out in their role.
