How Dayforce is reimagining the HCM experience to unlock a new world of agility

At a time of dizzying progress in workplace technology, we at Dayforce believe people have never been more valuable. But that doesn’t mean their value is always realized. A complex, inefficient experience caused by a fragmented set of HCM solutions bogs people down in repetitive tasks, untrustworthy data, and unmanageable complexity. As a result, they never get the time, space, and energy to do the work they’re meant to do – work that drives the organization forward. But a smooth, unified HCM experience gives them exactly what they need to unlock the agility and efficiency that will make them essential to your team for years to come.  

With that in mind, our latest Dayforce release is designed to help your organization realize its full people potential through transformative experiences, confident compliance partnership, and winning decision support. Here’s a look at how it’s doing each. 

Transforming the HCM experience to drive agility

As we reimagine the core relationship between the user and our unified HCM platform, we’ve focused our latest release on the high-impact areas of workforce management, recruiting, reporting, and employee communications.  

Unlock greater people potential with enhanced workforce management 

Employers and workers don’t always agree, but there are three things both want more of when it comes to workforce management – speed, flexibility, and quality.  

Reimagined workforce experiences  

We’ve added a new time tracking experience in Dayforce to make it easier to use, more people-centric, and more consistent across devices. Plus, managers can now take quick action right from the workforce insights dashboard — a one-stop shop to start their day with all the data they need at their fingertips. Our latest release simplifies the workforce management experience for managers and employees to complete common tasks such as: 
 

• Editing schedule segments more efficiently 
• Assigning unfilled shifts after they’ve been released for bidding 
• Managing timesheets faster by eliminating the noise 
• Flexible attestation on mobile with dynamic text  

These enhancements will help increase efficiency, shorten learning curves, and deliver better business outcomes through decreased scrolling, enhanced filtering, and actionable insights. 

Dayforce Flex Work enhancements  

Our latest release empowers employers and workers to fill open shifts more quickly with new enhancements to Dayforce Flex Work, the on-demand talent marketplace that allows employers to offer open shifts to a pool of verified, flexible workers. Employers can now fill more shifts faster by rebroadcasting notifications for open shifts to available workers in a targeted area. To boost labor quality, employers can rate and provide feedback on workers and prioritize their networks for future shifts. And workers can now provide feedback on shifts and access vital safety information prior to signing up.  

Supercharge your recruiting with a more efficient experience  

Our platform’s strength in recruiting has made us a recognized leader among talent acquisition solutions. Our latest release builds on that leading position by empowering recruitment professionals to make fast and equitable hiring decisions by sourcing, screening, and recruiting top candidates with the help of AI and machine learning.  

Our reimagined recruiting experience and AI-enhanced tools will specifically help users: 
 

• Match candidates to roles at scale based on fit, skills, and potential to improve hiring accuracy and reduce turnover 
• Quickly identify and prioritize top talent with a redesigned scoring interface that grades candidates based on customizable factors like work history, skills, and more 
• Make more equitable and transparent AI-enhanced decisions that are readily explainable and amenable to third-party auditing 
• Identify key actions to move hiring forward, reducing time-to-hire and improving efficiency through our Recruiter Insights page 
• Efficiently flow new hires and their associated employee data into the onboarding experience 
• Enjoy significantly faster load times for candidate profiles and resumes to manage a high volume of applicants more easily 

These updates represent a major leap forward for fast, equitable, and high-quality talent acquisition. 

Keep everyone on the same page with enhanced employee communications 

Managing communication in a dynamic workplace can be a challenge, especially when employees need to stay up to date with the latest information. Our new “What’s New” communications feature solves this by automating employee notifications, ensuring they’re informed as soon as new or updated content is published on their Dayforce Hub. Admins can customize the messages and control whether notifications are sent upon publication, providing a more streamlined and efficient way to keep employees engaged and informed. 

Close your skills gaps faster with the transformed Dayforce Learning  

Employers need the ability to quickly close skills gaps to meet business needs while offering employees a pathway to growth to retain top talent. To that end, the new Dayforce Learning experience provides organizations with the tools for end-to-end talent development. By bringing all their learning development needs into our single unified Dayforce platform, organizations can deploy talent development at scale. 

Turning compliance into a competitive advantage  

Business leaders know that compliance is a constantly shifting, high-stakes landscape that can test the agility of even the most elite companies. That’s why we’ve continued our focus on helping organizations develop their people and processes to turn compliance from a liability into a competitive advantage.   

Operate with confidence with 270+ new global compliance updates  

At Dayforce, we’re uniquely positioned to help organizations stay ahead of the constantly changing world of compliance. In 2024, Dayforce scored highest in both North American Compliance Suite 1,000-2,500 and North American Compliance Suite 2,500+ Use Cases in the 2024 Critical Capabilities report for Cloud HCM Suites for Enterprises with 1,000+ Employees. In our latest release, we’ve added 270+ global compliance updates to help your company operate with confidence around the globe.  

Boost inclusivity with enhanced employee gender  

Organizations often face challenges in ensuring that gender data is both inclusive and accurate, particularly when regional and individual preferences vary. Flexible gender data configuration addresses this by allowing organizations to tailor settings to meet these diverse needs. Admins can customize options for Assigned Sex, region-specific non-binary choices, and more, giving administrators, managers, and employees the control to accurately reflect diverse identities. 

Save money on coffee and eyedrops with HR Import 2.0  

Managing employee data imports can be time-consuming and prone to errors, affecting both speed and accuracy. HR Import 2.0 addresses these challenges by improving data integrity and processing speed through the HR API framework. It updates one employee record at a time, enhancing error handling and optimizing background job performance. With improved data mapping, HR Import 2.0 is now a more efficient, flexible, and user-friendly tool for handling HR data. 

Making faster, better decisions with the right data 

Business leaders and HR teams know that their HCM databases contain mountains of important insights. The frustration comes from being unable to separate these insights from the noise of a million data points. This is the third key area where our latest Dayforce release adds significant value to customers, especially in HR service delivery and workforce analytics.  

Give your people better experiences with new HR service delivery reporting  

HR teams often face challenges in tracking and analyzing case performance, identifying common inquiries, and pinpointing areas that need improvement. Our new HR Case Details report helps address these issues by surfacing key information about each case, such as the submitter, assignee, topic, status, submission date, and time to resolution. This helps HR Case Admins conduct a wide range of analyses to assess team performance and uncover trends. Data access is restricted based on location, case topic, and subject/topic authorizations to ensure secure handling of sensitive information. 

Get the insights that matter to you with our new Measures builder  

Last year, we introduced Dayforce Measures, a tool that provides users with the unprecedented ability to analyze their workforce and unlock their true people potential. This feature set came with a host of helpful out-of-the-box reports. Now with our latest release, customers can build custom measures to generate the insights they need based on their unique requirements. With Measures Builder, HR Administrators can create a tailored measure that focuses specifically on employees within the “Part-Time” or “Full Time” pay class and “Hourly” or “Salaried” pay types. The customized measure can be shared with the entire organization to help create meaningful segmentations, make more informed decisions, and uncover actionable insights.  

Moving forward  

With the latest Dayforce release in hand, companies are poised to:  
 

• Leverage AI in recruiting to reduce time-to-fill, boost quality of hires, and win in the increasingly red ocean of talent acquisition  
• Transform the HCM user experience to reduce friction, increase productivity, and empower people to do the work they’re meant to do  
• Provide workers of all abilities the tools they need to unlock their full potential  
• Drive efficiency and agility in an increasingly complex compliance landscape  
• Optimize their workforce through best-in-class, data-driven insights 

With these benefits, leading companies will continue outpacing their competitors by achieving new heights of efficiency and agility, all while making work life better for everyone at their organization.
