Celebrating one year of Payroll Question Time

Why digital maturity is integral to the employee experience

Payroll & HR are the guardians of rich employee data. Successful organisations understand that access to this people data – presented as a single source of truth – facilitates evidence-based decision-making and stronger outcomes. It builds organisational resilience for the ‘never normal’ we are facing, optimising processes and managing risk whilst identifying viable initiatives. It also builds trust and transparency at all levels of seniority.

Traditional travel & expense management (T&E) is admin-heavy, time-consuming and vulnerable to errors, making it obsolete in the modern workplace. Forward-thinking companies are already automating the process in line with digital transformation goals. A leading software and technology solution not only empowers employees, including Payroll & HR teams, but can pay for itself in a matter of months through the insight and cost savings achieved.

Payroll is more than salaries: discover how a strategic approach drives digital transformation and enhances the entire employee lifecycle.

Recent economic uncertainty has caused thousands of job losses and exposed some people to non-standard work models for the first time. These unprecedented changes now show signs of becoming long-term.  Organisations are also suffering from a shortage of specialist skills – especially digital – opting to borrow contingent workers, build existing talent as well as buy (hiring permanent workers) to create the desired mix. Across Europe, about 1 in 5 employees is a contingent worker and this is expected to rise. 

Employers reward staff with pay and benefits, but if employees don’t understand the package, its motivational impact is lost.

If you’ve reviewed your current payroll supplier and think you’d be better off elsewhere, it may be time to switch to a new provider. After all, smooth, efficient payroll calculation and payment remains the top concern for HR and business leaders.

Efficient and reliable payroll is critical for every business. Yet with the increasing complexity of the workforce and the constant updates to payroll legislation and policy, you may be considering switching to a new provider that guarantees more value than your current one.

No matter whether you're an experienced HR manager or a long-time business owner, raise and promotion requests are an aspect of HR that many people struggle with.
