Case Study: Cermaq Canada achieves seamless remote connectivity and streamlined HR, payroll and workforce management with Dayforce

Cermaq Canada’s people leader bridges her job with her passion

Cermaq Canada, a leading Atlantic salmon producer with operations on Vancouver Island and a head office in Oslo, employs a dispersed workforce across farm sites and processing plants. People and Culture Director Shannan Brown needed to balance her core HR responsibilities with running a micro‑finance and training program in Tanzania, facing the challenge of managing employee data, certifications and time‑sensitive decisions remotely—often with limited internet access.

By partnering with Dayforce (Payroll, Workforce Management and HR) and using its mobile app and document management, Cermaq centralized employee records, training certificates and performance goals, accessible from anywhere. The result: Shannan can make informed, timely decisions while abroad, stress has decreased, auditing and transparency have improved, and Cermaq has scalable HR processes that support ongoing growth and future modules like Recruiting and predictive analytics.
