Rethinking Global Payroll Compliance: From Reactive Processes to Strategic Control

Global payroll is undergoing a structural reset. What was once managed as a local operational process is now being reshaped into a strategic governance function, driven by consolidation, workforce globalization, regulatory pressure, and executive demands for visibility and control.

This thought-leadership session explores why global payroll is being redefined right now, and what a truly future-ready model looks like.
We will outline the foundational pillars of the future-ready global payroll operating model, where data standardisation, AI-enabled quality, local expertise, unified service delivery, and payment execution are an integrated system designed for resilience at scale.

This session will challenge outdated assumptions, especially the idea that compliance ends with payroll calculations, and will introduce a more modern view: that real compliance and control extend through the entire payroll lifecycle, including the “last mile” of payment delivery, audit readiness, and executive reporting.

By the end, attendees will leave with a clear blueprint for how global organizations can evolve payroll from fragmented execution into a high-trust, high-control global capability, built to withstand scrutiny, support growth, and deliver confidence across the enterprise.
