Case Study: Power Construction achieves streamlined HR, faster hiring, and better reporting with Dayforce

Power Construction builds an empowered workforce

Power Construction, founded in 1926 and the leading general/commercial contractor in Chicago, is a family‑driven company that employs up to 600 people across office and trade roles. Rapid growth strained its culture and outdated, fragmented HR/payroll systems—employees struggled to self‑serve, HR spent excessive time on basic tasks, and recruiting required entering data into three separate systems.

Power implemented Ceridian Dayforce to centralize recruiting, onboarding, payroll and HR data. The integrated platform cut new‑hire setup from up to an hour to about 15 minutes, replaced multiple spreadsheets with easy reporting, enabled mobile self‑service for benefits and life events, and improved support—freeing HR to focus on people and keeping the company on the cutting edge.
