Payroll Benchmarking: Cut Costs, Improve Efficiency - 2016

Why Should You Attend:

Benchmarking is a management or business technique that is designed to uncover information that will help a department to improve its efficiency and subsequently to cut costs. It allows a company or department to verify the performance of its processes in order to distinguish effective practices from those that are, shall we say, less effective.

But can this business technique be applied to the payroll department? Yes, it can be—any business process can be benchmarked and improved—and that includes payroll. Payroll departments are subject to cost controls and must always see ways to improve performance and cut costs while still maintaining compliance.
