Best practices for navigating your Dayforce implementation

How to implement Dayforce to get the best value for your people and your business

Whether you are still considering several human capital management (HCM) platforms or have already decided on Dayforce, it’s crucial to prepare for implementation. Your implementation experience can make or break your ultimate project success, as it will determine everything from user adoption and your ability to leverage new capabilities to whether your organization becomes exposed to inadvertent cyber risks. 

Common HCM implementation challenges

  • Lack of the right skills and experience needed to implement Dayforce
  • Avoiding a “lift and shift” of your existing system that could result in experiencing the same frustrations you wanted your new Dayforce system to fix
  • Configuration complexity that can lead to inadequate preparation, schedules and resources
  • Questionable data structuring that can make it difficult to transfer data from a legacy system to Dayforce without experiencing data loss or errors
  • A lack of stakeholder engagement that creates misalignment between how Dayforce is implemented and your business’s overall strategic goals
  • Inadequate training and support that can lead to frustration and a lack of user buy-in, affecting your utilization and return on investment
