Global Payroll Strategy - Where to start:

Payroll has often been a poor relation in HR Transformation projects. The impact on payroll is, at best, underestimated or, at worst, overlooked. Developing a global payroll strategy requires that you have a clear understanding of the wider business context within which payroll sits, you utilise a rigorous methodology
and that you approach the development of future (global) payroll strategy development with ‘eyes wide open’.

What value does it add to the payroll organisation?

Request for Purchase (RFP):

Often, your payroll strategy will require 3rd party payroll service provision. Selecting tactical or strategic vendor support for your payrolls is a critical decision. The decision should be taken as a result of a rigorous process. Only a rigorous selection process will help to assure that you select a payroll provider(s) who is appropriate for your organisation can meet your current and future needs
and with whom you can build a true payroll delivery partnership.

Global Payroll Transformation projects - What can go wrong?:

Developing the payroll strategy, getting leadership buy-in, and contracting with third-party partners is just the beginning. There are many reasons why these projects stumble and fail. Being aware of recurring failures or dangers should allow you to plan in advance to mitigate project risk and hopefully avoid the things that can blow your project off track.

Change Management:

Payroll strategy change involving transformation is complex and will seriously impact the business. These projects require compelling and continuous leadership and communication – not everyone understands what you understand.
