New Look enlists Accenture as it deploys Dayforce HR and payroll platform across its operations 

New Look, an omnichannel fashion retailer in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, says that it has chosen Dayforce to help provide “a modern employee experience, optimise its workforce, and unify its HR and payroll processes in a single cloud HCM platform”. 

With more than 8,500 employees, plus additional seasonal workers during busy holiday periods, New Look was searching for a solution to unify the employee experience across bricks and mortar stores, e-commerce, and fulfilment. It also wanted to provide the mobile first, self-serve experience its team craves.

With Dayforce, New Look says it will better optimise its labour force and support future growth, streamline scheduling and workforce management, and help maintain compliance in an evolving regulatory environment - all in one system.

There will also be the addition of on-demand pay with Dayforce Wallet in the UK.

“Real-time calculations made possible by Dayforce will revolutionise how we do payroll and provide valuable data and analytics to help us manage a complex workforce of full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers across hundreds of retail stores and warehouse facilities,” says Lisa Nash, Head of People Services, New Look.

“We wanted to create a great colleague experience. With Dayforce we will provide a modern, seamless, flexible HR and pay system that not only meets our needs today, but also in the years ahead.”

“Managing the growing complexity of today’s workforce requires modern solutions and insights backed by data. Dayforce is perfectly positioned to help retailers like New Look drive labour efficiencies and provide a seamless, modern experience to frontline workers,” says Steve Holdridge, President, Dayforce.

“New Look’s selection of us highlights the momentum we have in the EMEA region with companies of all sizes and across industries, and we’re thrilled to partner with them in this transformation to help future-proof their HR function across payroll and workforce management.” 

New Look is partnering with Accenture to implement the Dayforce platform across its operations.
