People

Our top priority

We are committed to creating opportunities for all Dayforce employees, and we work every day to make progress and deliver on that commitment. Our people make our organization stronger, more creative, and more resilient. We recognize and value these strengths, and we strive to nurture them with policies and programs designed to encourage growth and wellness.

Culture and belonging

we are committed to fostering a healthy, inclusive culture where Daymakers feel connected, valued, respected, and empowered to contribute meaningfully. Our culture, belonging, and organization effectiveness approach is grounded in Our Way values and focused on building enterprise capability across three interconnected areas: Inclusion and Belonging, Culture and Engagement, and Organization Effectiveness.

We provide education, resources, and experiences that are open to all Daymakers to build inclusive leadership capability, strengthen everyday belonging, and operate and lead in our global workplace. We create opportunities for Daymakers to connect with one another, engage with our values, and share feedback. These include our voluntary employee-led Inclusion Council & Communities and Connect at Dayforce groups, which are open to all employees.

Health and well-being

Our Wellness at Dayforce approach supports total well-being through interconnected pillars focused on career, financial, physical, emotional, and social well-being. Through globally aligned programs and benefits, we aim to create an environment where employees can grow personally and professionally while balancing the demands of work and life.

Our Global Crisis Management Team uses a third-party emergency notification system to monitor threats and effectively communicate with potentially impacted employees before and during major events.

Talent

Our ability to attract and retain top talent remains critical to our continued success as a business. We build a strong and diverse talent pipeline through both our Early Talent and Professional Hiring programs. We maintain a global Talent Acquisition Policy that provides consistent governance across our hiring practices.

Learning and Development

We are committed to helping our employees grow and develop their careers. We offer a robust array of learning opportunities for Daymakers, combining core required courses with optional on-demand and live instructor-led courses. In addition to specific development programs for individuals, we provide targeted development workshops.

We invest in the continued professional development of our employees through tailored programs at different stages of their career journeys:

• Aspiring Leaders
• Managing at Dayforce
• Leader Labs
• Skills Labs

Performance Management

We believe a high-performance culture grows through continuous, meaningful conversations between employees and leaders, making performance management an ongoing process that drives growth, alignment, and impact.
Throughout the year, we encourage consistent communication and two-way feedback, supported by a structured process that includes three formal touchpoints: goal setting, mid-year reviews, and annual performance discussions.

In 2025, 98% of employees received formal performance feedback during the annual lookback.

Giving and Volunteering

Our community impact work supports the communities where we live and work through both corporate action and employee engagement. Giving and volunteering is woven into the culture at Dayforce. We encourage employees to actively give back to their communities and causes that are meaningful to them in four key ways:

• Employee Volunteering
• Employee Giving
• Corporate Giving
• Disaster Response

In 2025, over 1,000 nonprofits were supported worldwide by Dayforce and employee giving and volunteering. Collectively, employees volunteered 22,000 hours globally, a 40% annual increase, and over $1 million was donated by employees and Dayforce to Dayforce Cares and other charitable organizations globally.

We believe in giving where we’re living to invest in our communities and support our neighbors. This spirit of localized generosity is at the core of our Dayforce Cares foundation, and one that our workforce has wholeheartedly embraced. Since its inception, Dayforce Cares has provided nearly $8 million in grants to individuals and families. Learn more at dayforcecares.com.
