Global payroll transformation is high on the agenda, but the path forward is rarely straightforward.

This interactive roundtable brings payroll and HR leaders together for a candid discussion on what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s next.

• Identify transformation priorities by comparing challenges with peers across organisation

• Avoid common pitfalls by discussing real-world payroll transformation experiences

• Strengthen decision-making by pressure-testing ideas with fellow payroll leaders
