You can use Position Management to model and manage your organization hierarchy for business and workforce planning. You can get accurate, historical, and current views of your employees and the overall organizational structure. This approach can help you to plan for future talent needs, find current talent gaps, and budget effectively to meet your business needs.
The first step in setting up Position Management is to create the functional structure of your organization in Organization Designer. First, you create business units in Organization Designer > Business Units. Business units form the functional structure of the organization that keeps track of filled and vacant positions. You can build a business unit hierarchy that represents a functional structure that is separate from actual locations.
After you have the business unit framework of your organization in place, you can add positions in Organization Designer > Positions. Each position represents a seat in your organization. Positions can be filled or vacant, and they drive the organizational structure of your business, including the management hierarchy and the overall head count.
The tasks involved with Position Management are:
- Create business units and set up the functional (business unit) org structure. See Add Business Units..
- Create positions and set up a position-based management hierarchy. See Add Positions.
- Search positions, business units, or employees in hierarchies. See Search Organization Designer.
- Review position and business unit hierarchies as of a specific date. See View Hierarchies by Date.
- Review audit trails for changes in positions and business units. See Review Audit Information.
- Use the Recruiting module together with Position Management to recruit and hire candidates. See Recruiting with Position Management.
Position Management and Personal Data Management
When an employee's personal information is removed from Dayforce, their name isn’t shown on any of the Position Management features. For example, their information is purged or masked in the Organization Designer > Positions feature in the Audit tab of positions, on the position details when the as of date is set to a time in the past when the employee occupied a position, and on the Last Modified section of position details.
See Personal Data Management Administration in the Dayforce Implementation Guide.
