In this live webinar, the team at Sprintax and Immedis help to break down the new norm of international employment, as well as showcasing real life scenarios of the new working life and its impacts on payroll and tax compliance offices in the USA and around the world.

Payroll teams are still spending a lot of time on laborious activities such as running payroll, reconciliations, and audits, and completing data entry – all areas where RPA would have a beneficial impact. So despite the attention, RPA garnered a few years back, it doesn’t appear to have made a huge impression in payroll teams.

There is a serious lack of integration between payroll and other systems, and in this webinar we will discuss:

• How payroll teams can use digital transformation to their advantage
• The challenges and opportunities faced by payroll teams - leveraging survey results to reinforce how adopting digital solutions can be advantageous to global payroll teams
• What payroll teams can do to streamline processes, improve the experience for all employees, and best serve the business while also enhancing their status within the organization

We are living in the era of change, with huge political, social and economic shifts driving radical changes in how, where and when we work. Employee turnover rates are on the rise and organizations are experiencing increased levels of talent mobility and flexibility. All these factors are putting a strain on an organizations ability to accurately track their pay data.

This webinar will bring together experts in this field from leading brands to examine the state of the function today and the challenges that organizations are facing.

As companies emerge from the pandemic and turn their focus to growth, many organizations are looking at expansion tactics. This includes accessing talent in new parts of the world where they historically did not have operations. Christine Keily, Chief Tax & Payroll Officer, and Emma Meehan, Head of Tax Services at Immedis will discuss the trends in organizational expansion and what global payroll professions need to consider as business landscapes change.

We are constantly adapting, developing and learning - sometimes at a pace that's well beyond our comfort zone. This practical session explores ways to be an ally to yourself at any moment: whether you're winning or whether you've just made a big mistake. We'll explore practices to cultivate confidence and trust in yourself (without falling victim to perfectionism). These can help you to generate unconditional self-care and move through your day with more ease and groundedness.

At the beginning of 2021, Immedis and the GPA joined forces to get inside information from those within the industry today and gather their valuable insights into key areas such as payroll operations, vendor relations, and technology – all of which combine to dictate the impact that payroll can have on wider business strategy.

Join this free upcoming webinar with Immedis CMO, Tara O'Sullivan, as we discuss the findings at length.

Globalization, changing work habits, and rising employee expectations are all driving the demand for a technology-led global payroll solution.

Join us at the GPA Global Virtual Payroll Summit on June 23^rd for an event full of informative session, networking opportunities, and a chance to meet with the Immedis team.

We’re delighted to be opening the event with a panel discussion asking the question ‘Is Global Payroll Set-Up to Impact the Bigger Business Picture?’, where we take a look at recent survey results which provided some interesting industry insights. Our team will also be back at the end of the conference to join the other amazing speakers that appeared throughout the day for a wider discussion on the past year and how the future of global payroll is taking shape.

Many companies still rely on Excel spreadsheets to manage payroll, despite transformational advances in finance technology and data analytics over the last decade. For larger firms, this is an expensive decision: They spend nearly 25 percent more time each week on payroll compliance projects compared to companies with advanced technology.

A lack of transparency into workforce effectiveness is another issue. Older methods hamper strategic decisions around staffing. But advanced technologies integrate payroll with HR, finance and decision makers. Payroll management technology also helps in key areas such as global compliance, data security and transparency. Outmoded systems lack the integration to tie payroll to these business concerns. In this interactive webinar, experts will discuss:

• Additional benefits of new payroll technology
• Why this is an urgent priority
• How to select the best technology for your company
• The challenges CFOs face when putting a new system in place

Anil Vijayan, Vice President of Everest Group, and Richard Limpkin, Chief Product Officer at Immedis, take a look at the new era of global payroll. We step through how the industry has evolved to the point we’re at today and influences on future trends. You’ll learn about:

• The reimagined and enhanced value of global payroll through payroll 4.0
• Key drivers that are enabling this new era
• The technology required to support an elevated payroll offering
• The role of providers in fulfilling the promise of payroll 4.0

Join Mark Graham, Chief Commercial Officer at Immedis, and Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory, for a webinar which discusses their experience across global mobility, tax, compliance, and payroll.

What to expect:

Gaining internal support for payroll technology changes isn't a simple issue. There are multiple key stakeholders. Every worker is affected by the outcome, and the potential compliance risk is immense. yet having a system that works properly is invaluable as it saves time, has a positive impact on the employee experience and decreases the risk of compliance issues.

There are a number of key considerations when building a business case for payroll technology investments;

• What KPIs should you ask for in a provider and how do you measure success?
• How do you know what your finance and IT teams need?
• How about governance and policy for how your global payroll function operates?

In this upcoming webinar, we'll cover all these topics and more in an interactive conversation between both panelists.

We'll be taking your questions during the session as well as walking through a few examples of how other firms have successfully completed their own global payroll implementations to help make this session both informative and actionable.

Payroll. It’s essential, impacts the employee experience and provides data necessary for making strategic business decisions. At the same time, it’s complicated, carries a high risk of error and can have significant repercussions when errors occur. For global companies, these issues are only more challenging as they must also factor in taxes and laws affecting employees worldwide. And let’s face it: all companies are becoming more global. The pandemic has even impacted this, as more employees work remotely.

While global payroll has its headaches, it’s more than just a process to be managed. It can also be used as a global company’s strategic asset. An expertly run payroll process can improve the hiring and retention of employees, engagement and generate greater visibility In this webinar, experts will discuss:

• What global payroll issues are the most complicated, and how they differ from domestic payroll issues
• How the payroll process affects employees beyond their wallet

A growing focus on diversity and inclusion has sparked positive movements. Organizations are examining their own practices in an effort to level the playing field for all. This is encouraging, but there is still a long way to go. We are only at the beginning of an initiative that will be ongoing as we continue to look at society and business conduct into the future.
