IT innovations and globalisation are helping to drive payroll outsourcing. Companies want to focus on “what they do best” and outsource the rest.

Still, as HR objectives are being reshaped, each function has to be evaluated and HR performance has to become more measurable

This year’s event will again explore payroll, with payroll experts and practitioners digging deep into the fundamental question of whether there are still areas of improvement and innovation to expect from payroll outsourcing:

• What defines payroll outsourcing today?
  
• Is cost reduction still the main driver?
  
• What are they major trends and their possible impact on companies’ practices and services delivered by HRO providers?
  
• What do practitioners focus on when it comes to selecting a payroll vendor?
  
• Is the retained organisation the future area of improvement for payroll outsourcing?

Join us in Dublin in November as we dive into payroll, sourcing, recruitment & talent, learning, technology, contingent workforce and innovation and competitive advantage.

Each track is comprised of both an overview and deep dive session where HR buyers, advisors and practitioners interact.

Recent research suggests that some companies are beginning to use strategic awareness of talent data to drive competitive advantage, and that companies need to accelerate their efforts to invest in analytics, integrated talent strategies, and clear talent communication  to business leaders.

It’s clear that HR professionals need to bring the same data and data analysis rigor to the world that their colleagues in Marketing, Sales and IT bring to leads, pipeline and equipment metrics. Some companies are already down this path; others are lagging pretty significantly

The key challenge now is rethinking the HR role and HR value chain

At HRO Today Forum Europe, we call this rethinking the “O” in HRO.  Does the “O” stand for:

• Outsourcing
  
• Operations?
  
• Optimisation?
  
• All of the above?

Join us in Dublin November 13 ^th – 15 ^th as we assemble the best and the brightest across Europe to debate this and other pressing HR questions, plus network and share best practices.

Oh yeah, and we have a little fun, too!

Excerpts taken from a blog article by David Wilkins, VP Research, Taleo

Author Bruce Morton argues that it’s not work/life balance, nor flextime, nor better pay and benefits that’s driving the changing workplace. Instead, he suggests that the primary driver is around how organisations are harnessing, embracing and unleashing talent.

Concepts such as:

• Personal Work Design
• Multi-Engagement
  
• Evolution of Power
  
• Connection Economy
  
• Personal ROI, and
  
• Fellowship

are used to describe how nimble companies may address the new world of work in the near future.
