MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2003

New president drives accountability throughout organization,

empowers employees to change the world of work for its customers

Ceridian, a leader in managed human resource solutions that maximize the value of people, announced organizational changes that will better align the company with its customers, enhance its ability to provide integrated human resource solutions, and improve the quality and effectiveness of its services. Ceridian created the new structure after a thorough review of the services required by businesses today, as well as the growth opportunities for managed human resource solutions.

"This is the next step in our journey to be the leader in our industry and bring us even closer to our customers," said Bo Ewald, president of Ceridian Human Resource Solutions. "I'm pleased to be working with a team of individuals who are personally committed to delivering on our promises to customers each and every day. With these changes, I believe that Ceridian will continue to make great strides in growing our business and helping our customers grow theirs."

The new changes enable the organization to meet the needs of customers in its different market segments. At the core of the changes are four new business units strategically organized along market segment lines--Small Business, Corporate (mid-market accounts), Enterprise (large accounts) and Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO).

"We've found that more and more organizations are ready to change their world of work through integrated end-to-end solutions that offer process efficiencies and improved service quality. Ceridian's newly created HRO business unit is responsible for providing the combination of technology, operational process models, and advanced service delivery that meet the needs of this market segment," explained Ewald. "In addition, there are four service units-- HR/payroll, tax and payment services, benefits administration, and employee assistance programs and work-life services--that provide services across four market segments."

Ewald added, "The new structure will also leverage the expertise of our veteran executives, including Pat Goepel and Todd Reimringer, who will have overall responsibility for sales and operations of our Corporate, Enterprise, HRO and Small Business customers."

Other shared service functions such as IT, product management, marketing, legal, human resources etc., will report directly to Ewald. In July 2003, Robert H. "Bo" Ewald was named president of Ceridian Human Resource Solutions with overall responsibility for Ceridian's HR businesses in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Ewald has served on Ceridian's Board of Directors since 1998.

Ceridian's managed human resource solutions were recently recognized in Forbes Magazine's prestigious 'Best of the Web' Annual B2B Guide.
