Moreover, diversity and inclusion within an organization has a direct impact on customers, improving its ability to better understand them and fill their needs.

 

And yet, a 2018 study of Fortune 500 boards found 22.5 percent of directors were women, and 4.6 percent were “minority women.” Fewer than 1 in 5 of the companies studied had a single woman of color in the boardroom.

 

While uniting to include would unlock an unprecedented potential for business and society alike, the progress is slow and the initiatives to change this situation are scarce. What should be done to turn the tide? What are the best global practices and initiatives?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1617395664533{background-color: #e0d9ce !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_width=”grid”][vc_column_inner][qodef_separator type=”full-width” color=”#0675bc” border_style=”solid” thickness=”3″ top_margin=”30px” bottom_margin=”50px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1617393610483{background-color: #e0d9ce !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_width=”grid”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text deg=”0″]

While payroll may be a goldmine of workforce and financial data, few organizations today are leveraging it effectively to drive strategic business decisions.  In most cases, an organization’s payroll function tends to go unnoticed by executives, until something goes wrong.

 

Or we experience a pandemic.

 

Led by ADP Canada’s Khadir Ahmed, VP of Canada Payment Operations, you will learn about the driving technologies enabling a digital payroll transformation on our post-pandemic path to resiliency.

 

Key insights include:

• The latest developments in fraud management and security protocols
• How your payroll department can embrace artificial intelligence
• Which metrics best identify payroll inefficiencies
• Your company’s appetite for Non-Traditional payment methods; and
• The Road Ahead: Payroll Trends to Watch in 2021

Learning objectives:  Driven by the financial services sector in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, attendees will learn why and how the new model has evolved, as well as how it is being applied in practice through a case study.  In particular, attendees will learn how Internal Audit and the CFO being part or the second line are integral to management and the Board in getting full value from the 3 Lines Model.
