Forrester Total Economic Impact™ Study: Dayforce HCM delivered 176% ROI
A Forrester Consulting study commissioned by Dayforce reveals how replacing fragmented systems with a single, AI-powered people platform simplified work at scale.
What you’ll learn:
Customers saw 176% ROI, $6.8M in net present value and payback in under 6 months by consolidating with Dayforce
Frontline managers got back 60% of time previously spent building and adjusting schedules
Leaders reported stronger confidence in payroll accuracy, better employee experiences and greater agility
What changes when HCM, payroll, and workforce management are in a single system
If you run payroll or own workforce outcomes, you feel the stress every day. Challenges turn into late nights, workarounds and growing risks. A new Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study commissioned by Dayforce shows what changes — financially and operationally — when organisations replaced fragmented HR, payroll and workforce management systems with a single platform and real-time data.
The study was based on interviews with customers across multiple industries, built with a composite of 7,500 employees using the Dayforce HCM platform. Findings showed the financial and operational impact of consolidating workforce systems into a single platform.
Beyond the financial results, leaders described fewer payroll surprises, more empowered employees through self-service and on-demand pay and teams that could adapt faster as the business evolved.
For organisations under pressure to solve business problems with real returns, this study sets a clear benchmark for what simplification should deliver.
