Beyond Borders, Beyond Banks: Rethinking Payroll for the Digital Workforce

16 Sep 2025
Oceanside B Ballroom
Solution Session
As the digital nomad population rises and global workforces become increasingly borderless, HR leaders need to think beyond traditional payroll systems. Today’s employees expect more than just timely pay; they want flexibility, choice, and financial empowerment. Yet, most HR systems remain tied to outdated frameworks that don’t meet the needs of a modern, mobile workforce.

In this session, you will hear how innovators are unbundling payroll from traditional payment models to integrate digital wallets, cross-border payouts, stablecoins, and even crypto. We’ll examine how this shift not only meets employee demand, particularly in emerging markets, but also positions HR as a key strategic driver of global expansion, and improved employee experience. 

In the new world of work, how you pay is just as important as what you pay.
