Organizations, like people, can experience pain, even if the nature of that pain is entirely different.
Similarly, businesses, like people, may prioritize a quick fix over a comprehensive solution that provides long-term relief.
But the best thing to do is try to understand the reason for that pain and apply the most targeted treatment possible.
And one area where this is especially true for businesses is in the area of global payroll.
Most companies operating on a global scale have to rely on multiple payroll vendors and platforms because it’s just too expensive to have an in-house payroll team in every country.
But this creates some big problems, starting with the number of contracts—and all of those different renewal dates—that you have to manage. Having multiple vendors also means multiple integrations. And all of this can be further complicated by how many employees you have in a given country, whether it’s just five or as many as 5,000.
