Help turn AI hype into hard results with the latest Dayforce release

Today’s leaders face mounting pressure to show real AI value to senior stakeholders who want proof, not promises. We get it – it’s not easy balancing innovation and accountability. To succeed, you need a targeted, responsible approach to AI that helps you realize quantifiable value today. That’s why our latest release has unlocked AI that’s designed to help deliver hard results in two areas that matter most – talent development and employee experience.  

Here’s what you can expect from our May 2025 release. 

See, scale, and supercharge your people’s skills   

You’re committed to building a skills-based organization, but for all the research supporting this approach, concrete steps can be hard to come by. To that end, we’ve infused the power of AI into our Dayforce Learning capabilities to help you: 
 

• Gain real-time visibility into your company’s skills, identify gaps, and track development. 
• Scale your skills taxonomy with AI tagging. Use AI to tag all internal and third-party learning content with related skills, allowing you to easily categorize content based on the skills your people need or want to develop.  
• Drive workforce skills initiatives forward and track progress across your company, teams, or individuals through the Dayforce built-in learning management system. 
• Use AI to help recommend and assign new learning activities (or even mentors and career opportunities) to employees to help you hit your upskilling/reskilling targets.  

With the Dayforce AI-powered people platform, AI can access real-time data stored across your entire HCM ecosystem (if you grant it permission). As employees get new job assignments or indicate new career aspirations, that data can be used to fine-tune learning recommendations – no need to wait for slow, unreliable data syncs between fragmented systems.  

Our new release also helps you ensure the quality of your people’s skills by empowering managers to assess and endorse employee skills directly inside the Dayforce platform. This provides a critical extra layer of human oversight that allows you to confirm the quality of your people’s skills and trains the AI to better understand and assess skills over time.  

Put the power of AI in your people’s hands 

No one wants to spend time tracking down basic information or asking their colleagues for it. You don’t want that for your people, either. To truly make work life better, your employee experience should recreate the same convenient, personalized digital experience we’ve come to expect from a life filled with streaming services, online shopping, and ride-sharing apps. That’s why the latest Dayforce release includes upgrades to our Dayforce AI Assistant, formerly called Dayforce Co-Pilot, that’ll help equip you with:
 

• AI where people want it: Give workers fast access to generative AI on their mobile device – whether it’s finding quick answers to policy questions, checking their remaining vacation balance, or requesting time off. 

• Workforce trends at your fingertips: Use dedicated dashboards in Dayforce People Analytics to see trends in question volume. Drill down in Dayforce reporting to further understand which questions your people are asking most, how well Dayforce AI Assistant is meeting their needs, and how you might tune your content strategy to help Dayforce AI Assistant supply better answers.  
• Your AI-enhanced source of truth: Easily feed your company’s knowledge to Dayforce Hub – a single place for team news and information – and have Dayforce AI Assistant quickly access that content when answering users’ questions. 

With these enhancements, you can empower Dayforce AI Assistant to draw on information spread across HR, pay, time, talent, and HCM analytics (or wherever you grant it permission), thanks to the Dayforce platform’s single data model. This helps you create an inspiring employee experience and drastically reduce the time HR spends on common cases and answering employee questions, freeing up more time for high-value strategic work.  

“One day, an employee came up to me and said he had a conversation with Dayforce AI Assistant about [one of our employee benefits]. He said he’d learned more about it in that conversation than he had in all the sessions he’d attended about it. Dayforce AI Assistant is great at providing answers in a way that’s easy, digestible, and personalized.”
