Case Study: Aviva Canada achieves scalable, secure payroll and $1.15M cost avoidance with Dayforce (Ceridian)

Aviva - Customer Case Study

Aviva Canada, a leading property and casualty insurer with about 3,600 employees serving over 3 million customers, faced rapid growth and the fallout of multiple acquisitions: fragmented payroll systems, rising turnover, data‑integrity and security risks, and the need for scalable continuity plans. Management needed a fast, flexible solution that would stabilize payroll and HR processes without heavy new IT investment.

Aviva selected Ceridian’s Managed Payroll & HR Administration (and LifeWorks EAP), retaining key payroll staff while consolidating systems, handling international payroll and complex bonus plans. The outsourcing delivered state‑of‑the‑art technology, stronger data security and business continuity, streamlined processes and better reporting — avoiding at least $1.15 million in costs over five years — and left Aviva with reliable, scalable HR/payroll services and ongoing access to innovations and self‑service tools.
