Payroll is entering a new era: Are you ready?

As organisations navigate changing regulations, growing data volumes, and rising employee expectations, payroll is becoming a more strategic function to the business.

ADP’s latest global payroll survey, The Potential of Payroll in 2026, explores how payroll leaders are reshaping their operations around three central prioritie

Priority 1: Make payroll smarter through technology

AI, automation, and better integration can help teams reduce manual workloads, improve accuracy, and strengthen reporting. Among organisations transforming payroll, 31% identify improved accuracy as a key automation ambition, while 28% are focused on automated reporting.

Priority 2: Turn payroll data into business insight

Payroll data can support better workforce planning, financial forecasting, and organisational agility; however, visibility remains uneven. Close to half of organisations (49%) rely on in-country reporting only (that means no consolidation).

Priority 3: Protect trust at every pay cycle

Firms are looking to strengthen the technical foundations of their payroll functions. A substantial proportion wants dedicated expertise in IT (34%), data security (37%), analytics (37%), compliance (38%), and payroll processing (35%).

The opportunity is clear: with the right foundations, payroll can help organisations become more accurate, agile, and prepared for what comes next.
