Dayforce handles global compliance. Confirm reveals who's actually performing.
Ceridian Dayforce is a strong global HCM platform. But knowing who's at flight risk, who's driving results across geographies, and how to coach managers with real data — those questions need more than a compliance-focused HCM module.
Where Dayforce performance management falls short
Ceridian Dayforce is optimized for global payroll accuracy, compliance, and workforce management. Its performance module handles review workflows and goal tracking — but it's built for documentation, not intelligence.
Global compliance is solved. Talent intelligence isn't.
Dayforce excels at managing complex global payroll, tax compliance, and local regulations across dozens of countries. Performance intelligence — who's at flight risk, who connects geographically distributed teams, who drives cross-border results — requires a different kind of data.
Review workflows create records, not insight
Dayforce performance tools are built for documentation: capturing review scores, goal status, and succession readiness flags. They don't show you behavioral signals from how people actually collaborate — who's central, who's isolated, who's becoming a flight risk.
Succession planning without behavioral data is guesswork
Dayforce includes succession planning templates. But succession decisions built on manager ratings and tenure miss the most important signal: who actually holds the organization together. ONA reveals this. Review forms don't.
What makes Confirm different
Confirm adds the behavioral intelligence layer that global HCM platforms weren't designed to provide — integrating with Dayforce while revealing the performance signals that matter.
ONA: see what Dayforce data can't show you
Organizational Network Analysis maps how work actually flows — not just org chart reporting lines. For global organizations, this is especially powerful: you see cross-border collaboration patterns, which offices are truly connected, and where knowledge bottlenecks exist.
- Predict flight risk 3 months before resignation
- Identify who connects geographically distributed teams
- Surface succession candidates based on influence, not tenure
- Catch collaboration gaps before they become retention problems
Integrates with Ceridian Dayforce
Confirm syncs employee and org data from Dayforce automatically. Keep Dayforce for global payroll, compliance, and workforce management while Confirm adds the performance intelligence layer.
Continuous signals across geographies
Performance changes daily, especially in distributed teams. Confirm shows you real-time behavioral signals across all your locations — so you're not waiting for an annual review to discover a retention risk.
AI coaching designed for distributed managers
Managing remote or global teams is harder. Confirm gives managers person-specific guidance backed by behavioral data — not generic HR prompts. Coaching tied to real signals, not org chart proximity.

Common questions
Can I use Confirm with Ceridian Dayforce?
Yes. Confirm integrates with Dayforce to sync employee and org data. Keep Dayforce for global payroll and compliance. Use Confirm for performance intelligence and talent decisions.
Does Confirm replace Ceridian Dayforce?
No. Dayforce handles global payroll, compliance, workforce scheduling, and enterprise HCM. Confirm handles performance intelligence. Different tools, different jobs. Most companies run both.
How is Confirm different from Dayforce's performance module?
Dayforce's performance module handles structured HR workflows — review cycles, goal tracking, succession templates. Confirm adds ONA from behavioral data, flight risk prediction, and AI coaching backed by how work actually flows. Different intelligence, not duplicate functionality.
We're a global organization. Does Confirm work at scale?
Yes. Confirm works well for global teams. ONA is particularly powerful for distributed organizations — it reveals cross-border collaboration patterns and flight risk signals that are invisible in an org chart or a review form.
Keep Dayforce. Add the performance intelligence layer.
Dayforce handles global compliance and workforce management. Confirm tells you who's driving results, who's at flight risk, and who connects your global teams before any of that shows up in a review form.
