We needed to create a strong, stable organisation no matter the market. Payroll is like water. You turn on the tap, and you expect it to flow. It’s only notable if it doesn’t show up.

Challenges
- The company has a presence in 74 countries, in big markets such as the Netherlands, China and the United States, but also in many smaller markets with just a few dozen employees each. Getting payroll right for 38,000 employees globally was no small task.
- Standardising and simplifying Signify’s payroll was the goal.
How ADP Helped
- Focusing on France and Poland to start, teams from Signify and ADP got together to map out the payroll process from end to end.
- In all, it took about 10 months to redesign Signify’s payroll process, but 95% of the efficiencies came out of a four-month sprint.
