How modern HR & Payroll systems drive operational efficiency

In this second webinar in the series, our very own Chris Kirby joined Bob Rehill and Nick Day for the latest SD Worx webinar looking at payroll optimisation.

The panel discussed:

  • What the SD Worx comprehensive Future of Work and People insight survey is telling us
  • How inefficiencies in your operation really happen in the first place
  • The threat of historic mergers and acquisitions pose on wider strategies
  • The opportunities of remote working from talent to wellbeing
  • Both sides of the debate: Should payroll become its own function outside of HR and finance?
  • How to create a winning business case for HR and payroll investment.
