2020 has seen major changes to the United States economy and the state of global economies. Few corporate stakeholder have played a more significant role than the payroll suite.
HCM sales and account management professionals are refining their messaging to make the most of the current selling climate and ensure they have the tools necessary to support all of their client’s needs. Three major trends have defined payroll for the latter half of a year that has seen the advents of widespread remote work, global pandemic management and changing attitudes toward careers and corporate culture:
- Accelerated pace of change in compliance: government agencies are regulating quickly and using technology to monitor key indicators
- Increased expectations for system accuracy to match regulatory accuracy: modern businesses are demanding rapid, compliant technological responses to address new rules and evolving standards
- Demand to support affected industries such as Construction, Manufacturing, Public Sector and Healthcare
Accelerated pace of change in compliance
Payroll compliance is complicated by default, and for this very reason it is extremely difficult to stay on top of shifts to this process given the standard rate of change. We’re currently in an environment where the pace of change is measured in days and months instead of years, which creates an incredible amount of friction for both prospective payroll clients and payroll reps alike. The most safe and effective way to address this unique problem is to ensure reps have a strong integration partner that not only understands how to handle complex integrations, but also has the depth of industry expertise necessary to assist in creating airtight solutions that are nimble enough to match the pace of change.
