![Is global payroll right for your business?](https://marketing-assets.adp.com/api/public/content/63dc7ef3ed63492ebc10c7a4f1b6d5cc?v=64507c43)

Many organizations need help with [global payroll](/what-we-offer/products/adp-global-payroll) due to its advanced and intricate requirements. In fact, managing global payroll is so complex that 12% of payroll leaders say they have full regional and global reporting, with 31% saying they have no regional and/or global visibility at all.1 That’s a serious problem, but it can be solved.

## Five advantages of a global payroll solution

1.  **Artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced experiences**  
    Global payroll solutions should offer interactive AI insights on payroll variances within the flow of work and have AI assistants to help employees quickly find payroll answers and access tasks.
2.  **Comprehensive data analysis**  
    Armed with a global payroll solution, organizations can assess the actual cost of payroll on a per-country basis and explore the impacts of obligations, such as employer statutory payroll taxes.
3.  **Reduced compliance risks and costs**  
    A Forrester Consulting study found that organizations can realize up to $6.4 million in risk-adjusted value by improving compliance processes.2
4.  **Improved payroll efficiency**  
    In small markets, the right solution can help enterprises increase payroll efficiency by up to 75 percent, helping lower manual effort, decrease errors and simplify vendor management.2
5.  **Better employee retention**  
    A global payroll solution can provide a single source of truth for salary, benefits and pay data, no matter where employees are, making it easier to retain talented people and drive return on investment (ROI).
