According to our latest Future of Work and People research, operational efficiency is the top priority for HR leaders in 2021, with work-life balance close behind. The biggest challenges facing HR are staff well-being, employee experience, and the war for talent. So, it’s no surprise to see the need for greater digitalisation and automation rising on the priority list, as HR leaders look to get the basics right so they can focus on the strategic.

Within leading organisations, Payroll & HR are starting to align more closely in order to meet the demands of the emerging workforce and to facilitate the digital workplace. Stronger together, an integrated Payroll & HR system enables businesses to become agile and competitive through gaining a ‘single source of truth’ relating to employee data. Successful integration enriches the employee experience and also provides invaluable business intelligence. However, this power can only be leveraged with technological investment and removal of operational silos.

In a world that’s addicted to tech, it pays to get it right for your workforce. Good tech looks different for every business based on their needs, but there are some common themes that will change the game for your HR & Payroll teams. Taking the action to invest in tech for your employees will work wonders on their experience and help your organisation stay productive and efficient.

Senior HR and Finance decision-makers predict major changes to the workforce by 2025. As a result, payroll will have a significant impact and influence on employee engagement as it aligns more closely with HR in an innovative new remit. Top payroll teams are embracing next generation technology such as automation and AI in order to offer customised payroll packages and financial well-being.
