Dayforce often partners with third parties for implementation, and users rate Paylocity higher than Dayforce for Quality of Support and Quality of Doing Business on G2.
Analytics and reporting are critical for determining how you recruit, develop, and retain the workforce you need now and in the future. Our platform does more than provide templates. With Paylocity’s native customizable dashboards, your organization can better understand labor costs, identify areas to improve retention, and benchmark KPIs with your peers.
Dayforce does not have a native HR metrics solution. System dashboards provide analytics through the Microsoft Power BI engine.
Connection is at the heart of employee engagement. Paylocity gives you the tools to reach employees where they are and the platform to show them their voices are heard and valued. Within six months of implementing Community, Paylocity’s workplace social hub, clients saw peer recognition increase by more than 500%.
Paylocity offers valuable employee-focused experiences such as Community and Rewards and Recognition that Dayforce lacks.
