It’s an unfortunate truth: the top reason global payroll implementations do not go live on time is ‘client readiness’. Lack of client readiness can be broken down as:
- Lack of in-house experience organizing and running large global payroll programs.
- Lack of dedicated project resources engaged in the project. Resources deployed on global payroll implementations are often still involved in their day-to-day jobs and other ongoing projects, leading to project burn out and lack of engagement in the new payroll solution.
- Poor or non-existent change management and no buy in from local key stakeholders which breeds resistance to change.
