About this webinar

The past five years have been an undeniably pivotal and transformative period, marked by different global events that have reshaped our world and business landscape.

Businesses today face an unprecedented convergence of forces: a global pandemic that fundamentally altered working models, significant geopolitical conflicts creating instability, and the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This shift inevitably leads to a critical question for many leaders and professionals: Is this the end of Human Resources and Payroll as we know it?

The traditional role of HR and Payroll, often focused on administration, recruitment, compliance and delivering wages, is now being challenged and redefined. Businesses are grappling with new complexities, including remote and hybrid work, evolving employee expectations, the imperative of digital transformation, and the ethical considerations surrounding AI implementation.

Watch our insightful discussion with HCM Tech Leader and SAP Mentor, Danielle Larocca, and Global Payroll Expert, Zsófia Láng. They explore the evolution of HR and Payroll teams, common challenges faced by SAP HR and Payroll teams today, and their recommendations for preparing for a new era in HR and Payroll.
