New research by SD Worx, in partnership with Circal, interviewed HR leaders from top UK companies in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis. 

Mature and efficient payroll can unlock hidden value for the wider business.

Workforce planning is a key management responsibility, and traditional time & attendance (T&A) solutions have done a satisfactory job… until now. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and shift in workplace culture has challenged and changed the way we work. Managers must now facilitate homeworking and ensure social distancing can be implemented, whilst tracking employees’ time, attendance and performance.

The pandemic has had a major impact on payroll processes.With businesses forced to furloughed employees under the Coronavirus Job retention Scheme, and payroll teams asked to work from home, this year has brought challenges nobody could have anticipated.

Payroll systems are the bedrock of trust that companies can build their organisation upon. By managing a business’s largest expenditure, they perform a crucial role – helping to maintain the confidence of a workforce.

If you’re reading this, then we assume you’ve been debating whether a managed payroll service is the right move for your business. And you’re probably working towards wider business objectives like reducing your total cost of ownership, increasing efficiency, improving business continuity plans, or reducing risk.

The pandemic has created challenges that none of us anticipated. For many businesses, it has accelerated digital transformation projects and highlighted the need for more agile and fluid ways of working. To meet the needs of the post-Covid workforce, HR is being reinvented.
