Council Guest Post: A Guide to Leveraging Payrolls Rich Data

Posted on by

The following is a multi-part series of micro-blogs, guest authored by Annemarie Verwaaijen, MSc, MBA, Vice President, Global Head of Pay Services for S&P Global, and a 3Sixty Insights Executive Council member.  A Guide to Leveraging Payrolls Rich Data It is easy to become overwhelmed with so much data available in payroll. The easiest place to begin, and where most companies will start, is by counting the errors or defects. Next, ensure that everyone agrees on how defects are defined; establishing this baseline is essential for consistency. Other elements you can report on when you are starting your journey are just some examples, as they will differ by company. Defects (employee paid wrong, and you need to make a correction) Pre-defect (the payroll team discovered […]

Council Guest Post: Is it Time For Payroll to Make its Own Table?

Posted on by

The following is the first in a series of micro-blogs, guest authored by Annemarie Verwaaijen, MSc, MBA, Vice President, Global Head of Pay Services for S&P Global, and a 3Sixty Insights Executive Council member.  Is it Time For Payroll to Make its Own Table? I read a statement this morning: “I am not waiting to get a seat at the table; I am building my own table.” I commented as I believe that is a very powerful statement. But it keeps popping up in my mind. Over the last few years, but even last week at the Paymaker conference from Cloudpay, people ask the question of how to get a seat at the table. I wonder, did we go about it all wrong? Why are […]

Compliance at the Core: Behind the Scenes at deel

Posted on by

This year, I’m spending more time working with vendors across the HCM technology and services marketplace to understand the key trends and learn more about the modern solutions and innovations focused on advancing how compliance is managed across the HR spectrum. The struggle is real. In HR buyer research, compliance bubbles up consistently as a top challenge for practitioners and a leading driver for HR and payroll-managed services adoption as regulations evolve, introducing new complexities at an accelerated pace. Over half of employers cite mounting concern for solving skills gaps locally and struggling to attract top talent as key obstacles to business transformation and remaining competitive.  These obstacles lead to organizations of all sizes commonly engaging talent beyond their home borders and seeing their footprints […]

Independence Day: A Time to Reflect & Champion Unconditional Freedom for All

Posted on by

This July 4th, Americans across the United States and around the world will pause to enjoy a long weekend with family and friends to celebrate America’s 247th birthday and independence from Great Britain in 1776. While the beloved patriotic summer holiday will no doubt be filled with hot dogs, fireworks, and backyard gatherings to commemorate America’s birthday, it’s an excellent time for us all to pause and reflect on the unparalleled freedom we enjoy and often take for granted. The United States of America has long been a symbol and beacon of freedom, hope, and opportunity for immigrants seeking a better life. A country founded on the core belief that all humans are created equal and endowed with certain unalienable rights — among those being […]

Workday Guest Blog Article: Inflection Point – Enabling Strategy and Organizational Agility With Payroll

Posted on by

The current state of payroll and the future of the critical process and profession is reaching its much-needed inflection point. Prioritizing the critical process and profession as a central element in the broader human capital management (HCM) strategy is vital to enabling organizational agility and elevating the profession from its simple processor stigma to a strategic advisor and center of expertise. So Close…Yet Still So Far Payroll has come a long way from its stone tablet and paper journal roots. Tabulating machines must have seemed like the future in the late 1950s to the few organizations with access to them. Eventually, desktop computers and the internet paved the way for payroll software to change how payroll was “managed.” But payroll largely limped along with inadequate […]

UKG to Acquire immedis: What it Means & Why it Matters

Posted on by

The Big News This past week workforce management and human capital management technology provider UKG announced its intent to acquire immedis, a current UKG Marketplace integration partner and global payroll technology and services provider. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is presumed to be valued above the $575m valuation immedis reported with its most recent funding round; the deal is expected to close within 60 days. The acquisition news makes perfect sense when you consider UKG’s vision and mantra of “Be the One”: one suite of products + one people-first purpose, and one approach to simplifying how it does business. Given the complexity and criticality of managing an agile global workforce, that vision was incomplete without a globally capable payroll solution […]

Case Study: Lovisa A Managed Payroll Services Case Study Featuring Links International

Posted on by

Supporting a fast-moving organization with an aggressive global growth strategy poses many challenges and potential risks for HR and payroll leaders. Lovisa quickly found its employee footprint stretching well beyond its ANZ roots, resulting in multiple payroll vendors and in-country solutions supporting its Asia Pacific workforce. With unique employment requirements in each country, Lovisa recognized its disparate landscape of payroll solutions lacked the flexibility, agility, and scalability to support its ambitious plans. The mix of payroll solutions meant fragmented reporting, a lack of modern employee self-service technology and tools, and critical processes left out of scope due to provider limitations. Leave management was a glaring gap for some countries as local providers were unable to support the critical process. This meant manual work for Lovisa’s […]
