01 We have served in the Implementation department at Dayforce
We started our careers in 2014 in Dayforce shortly after it became a part of Ceridian. We have seen it growing and have been active contributors for its growth. The Co-Founders of Kandha have both been nominated and have received the prestigious "Our Way" award of Dayforce several times. This award is provided to Consultants who exhibit the core values of Ceridian - aka, Customer Focus, Shared Ambition, Agility, Equity, Optimism, and Transparency. Our specialized skillset in near perfect implementations have created a reputation for us to be chosen as trusted Consultants by the Senior Leadership of Dayforce for complex implementations. Please let us know if you would like to chat with some of our ex-colleagues and leaders and we will be happy to share references.

02 We have also served as client side partners with Dayforce
In 2021, we joined the client side of Dayforce with one vision - to experience what it is like on the other side. We had seen all that we needed to see and learn as Implementers and the next part to support you was to sit on the other edge of the table, with you. Thanks to this unique journey, we have been a part of the inside story and know what it takes to get an approval from Senior Leadership, to transition employees to a new system, to commit to the testing and the implementation cycle while also working on your day jobs, to work closely with other teams in your organization, sending the mass emails, preparing the job aids, getting employees excited for the new change etc., This revealed a lot of blind spots that were previously unknown to us. This is where our wisdom springs from. We know the drill and we will be happy to apply our wisdom to your organization.

03 We spend an average of 10-12 hours a day working directly in Dayforce (by choice)
Yes, you read that right. We spend the majority of our day working within the product. We run by one philosophy - that we cannot stop piloting the aircraft after it reached the skies. We enjoy solving business problems and configuring creative solutions to relieve you from your pain points and meet your objectives. Every day is a new day to learn something new in Dayforce. The amazing ecosystem of Support, KB articles, Release updates, Customer Success webinars, Compliance Updates, Regulatory Changes, New Announcements, Product Roadmaps, Product Guides and the plethora of documentation are voraciously consumed by us, so we can remain reliable and relevant for all times. Imagine if someone else did all that reading, tried and tested all solutions to give you a one page of what you need to know and do to be successful. That is wisdom sharing and that is what Kandha is all about. This we do, because we deeply care for our clients and their employees - Making your work lives better!
