All communications and day-to-day interactions are managed by Safeguard Global’s centralised Service Delivery teams who in turn manage communications with their local teams. This provides a truly centralised service wrap and avoids multiple different processes and teams.
Their technology is also centralised. No matter how many countries or entities they’re providing Payroll services to, all customer internal stakeholders will have access to the same system, with different levels of access depending on customer requirements.
Aside from compliant, accurate, and on-time payroll, a key to their delivery is efficiency. They are one of Workday's longest-standing partners in the Payroll market, and can also integrate and interface with most other HRIS. Their efficiencies will extend to consolidated GL builds, fully outsourced Treasury services, and ensuring their customers are pro-actively made aware of local legislation changes that will impact their payrolls.
