The untapped power of payroll data in Asia-Pacific

As organisations expand across borders in today’s diverse and fast-evolving Asia-Pacific markets, they face complex workforce management challenges—from navigating local labour laws to optimising operational costs. According to John Antos, Vice-President Strategy, Global Payroll and Asia-Pacific at ADP, data-driven decision-making is critical to success.

“Payroll data, often an untapped resource, holds immense strategic value in helping organisations make informed workforce and financial decisions,” Antos told HRM Asia. “At ADP, we empower organisations with payroll data that goes beyond payslips. This intelligence helps HR and finance leaders streamline payroll operations, ensure compliance across Asia-Pacific markets and make proactive workforce planning decisions.”

For organisations looking to expand, accurate payroll data plays a crucial role in reducing risks, enhancing efficiency, and informing strategic decisions. “In an era of rapid growth and regulatory complexity, having the right data can mean the difference between reactive problem-solving and strategic success,” said Antos. “Accurate payroll data reduces risks and enhances efficiency, enabling leadership teams to forecast talent needs, optimise compensation strategies and align payroll operations with broader business goals.”

To help organisations capitalise on these insights, HRM Asia and ADP are co-hosting an exclusive webinar, The Asian Advantage: Tapping the World’s International Growth Frontier. The webinar aims to equip business leaders, HR professionals, and finance executives with essential strategies for sustainable success in Asia-Pacific’s evolving markets.

Moderated by Laure de Panafieu, Partner, Head of Employment and Incentives, Asia, Linklaters, the webinar will feature industry leaders, including Antos; Leanne Chin, Chief Financial Officer, Asia-Pacific, ADP; Subha Krishnamoorthy, Head, Payroll Group Processes, Standard Chartered Bank; and Jomesh Jose, Global Director, Payroll, Time and Attendance, Resideo. Together, they will discuss the complexities of international expansion and how organisations can navigate regulatory landscapes, talent acquisition, and workforce data management to drive success.

Antos concluded, “As Asia-Pacific continues to be the world’s growth frontier, leveraging payroll insights will be key to building future-fit organisations that thrive in each market where you do business.”
