David’s Bridal Adopts Ceridian Workforce Management
National chain David’s Bridal is the latest big retailer to join HCM and workforce management system (WFM) vendor Ceridian to help automate management and meet the needs for employees’ demands for flexibility.
The bridal retailer’s recent rollout of the Ceridian WFM module was specifically for the retailer’s corporate center and its 600 employees in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The suburban Philadelphia complex, which previously was mostly using paper to track employee scheduling, also includes a contact center and two distribution facilities.
Kathryn Lopez, HRIS manager at David’s Bridal, said a team from Ceridian was on site to help with the installation and continues to provide support.
“The strength that they have in their support department is that they have people who specialize in certain areas,” Lopez said. “Beyond implementation, I have somebody that if I need help on time and attendance, I call him and we have a different person for data imports and exports.”
