Creating the HR & Payroll foundations for success
The nature of work continues to evolve, partly due to digital transformation accelerated by the pandemic, and partly from employees’ increasing expectations for fluid work. Due to this, HR leaders are having to reimagine the workplace, to drive engagement and performance for their teams and organisation. We’re here to help you get the foundations right.
The first in a series of five special reports we've created in partnership with CIPD, on building the HR and Payroll foundations for success. In part 1 we explore how getting the right people ecosystem in place frees up senior leaders to focus on delivering a culture and organisation for which people will want to work, paving the way for success in a fiercely competitive talent marketplace.
Operational efficiency is the highest priority for HR leaders in 2022, according to our most recent Future of Work and People survey across almost 3,000 HR leaders. Part 2 of our whitepaper series deep dives into the drivers of efficiency, and explores the trend of payroll becoming its own function – rather than sitting HR or Finance.
The cost-of-living crisis means many face a struggle to make ends meet – but for businesses which have a reliable payroll set-up, offering flexible payment options can help. This special report dives into the strategic shift around pay propositions and examines the risks and rewards for both businesses and their employees.
More so than ever the importance of HR data to empower strategic business decisions is higher than ever. Organisations must put good data in to get good results out. Payroll data is the single source of truth that can be integrated with other forms of HR data to create the complete picture of the workforce. This whitepaper discusses how organisations are using HR data to achieve their strategic goals and explore how you can do the same.
This whitepaper looks to answer the key questions around employee experience and payroll: How can HR and payroll work together to create an end-to-end user experience for their people? What are the developments in payroll and HR tech that are changing the game for professional users? And what kind of insights can employee experience deliver to the c-suite to make a difference to the overall business objectives?
