Guitar Center Wins SuperNova Award from Constellation Research for Dayforce Workforce Management
MINNEAPOLIS --(Business Wire)--
Ceridian Corporation, a global provider of human capital management
solutions, announces Guitar Center, the world's largest retailer of
musical instruments, has been honored with a SuperNova Award from
Constellation Research in the category of Future of Work, for Dayforce
Workforce Management. The SuperNova Awards recognize business leaders
who carry out the implementation and adoption of disruptive technologies
within their organizations in pursuit of corporate innovation and
efficiency.
"When you see technology successfully applied to a business that serves
the arts, it is truly a cool experience," says Chris Salles, director of
store labor, Guitar Center. "Our intuitive Workforce Management
solution, in partnership with Ceridian Dayforce, effectively gets our
managers and music experts in front of our customers. Furthermore, with
valuable insight into schedule optimization we're able to make better
staffing decisions and investments at the store level that benefit not
only our customers, but also our bottom line. We're pleased that our
efforts to innovate have not gone unnoticed by the business, technology
and HR community."
"Guitar Center took an innovative approach to workforce scheduling by
incorporating customer traffic patterns into Ceridian Dayforce's
optimization engine, to drive better staffing coverage and skills
alignment with clients at the store level," says Yvette Cameron, vice
president and principal analyst, Constellation Research Inc. "With a
focus on highly intuitive user experiences and process transformation,
Ceridian Dayforce has emerged as a transformative force among
Software-as a-Service Human Capital Management vendors, so it is no
surprise that a progressive company like Guitar Center, which offers
benefits such as 'gig leave' for its employee musicians, would find such
a strong partner in Ceridian."
"We're thrilled that Guitar Center is being recognized for incorporating
Dayforce human capital management technology into their business
strategy and day-to-day operations," says David Ossip, president of
Ceridian Dayforce. "Empowering managers and store associates with
real-time access to schedules, timesheets and HR information affords
them with greater visibility on how to best leverage a very talented and
passionate sales force, positively influence customer engagement and
remain profitable."
This year's SuperNova Awards received over 120 applications. An all-star
cast of judges including journalists, public relations professionals
and industry insiders had th difficult task of reducing the applicant
pool to 47 semifinalists. Then the public went online and voted for
their favorite semifinalists. The winners of the 2012 SuperNova
Awards were honored during a gala celebration at Connected
Enterprise on November 9, 2012.
