Ceridian

Dayforce (formerly Ceridian) is a global leader in human capital management (HCM) software, providing a comprehensive cloud-based platform for HR, payroll, benefits, workforce management, and talent management. While the company is not a life sciences or biotech firm in the sense of drug development, it maintains a significant presence in the healthcare and life sciences sectors by providing specialized workforce solutions to hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and contract research organizations (CROs). Its flagship Dayforce platform is designed to help complex, highly regulated organizations manage global compliance, labor costs, and employee engagement. In early 2024, the company officially rebranded from Ceridian to Dayforce to align its corporate identity with its primary product offering.
