Beyond HR: Building a Truly Connected Workforce Across People, IT & Finance 

As organisations become more distributed and complex, workforce management increasingly sits across multiple functions. HR owns employee data, IT manages access and devices, Finance manages payroll and expenses, while employees experience all of these processes as one journey. 

But disconnected systems can create duplication, manual work and inconsistent data. 

This roundtable will bring senior leaders together to discuss how organisations can break down functional and technological silos and create a more connected approach to managing their workforce.

How it Works

Taking place alongside the Future of Work APAC conference, this 60-minute Leadership Table will bring together a small group of senior HR and People leaders for a focused and interactive discussion.

The session will be hosted by Rippling, who may open with a short presentation or introduction to set the scene, before moving into a facilitated peer-to-peer discussion. The emphasis will be on shared experiences, practical insights and open conversation, rather than a traditional conference session.

The discussion will operate under Chatham House Rule, creating a confidential environment where participants can speak candidly about their challenges, priorities and experiences.

All Leadership Table participants will also receive a complimentary pass to Future of Work APAC, providing access to the wider conference programme, networking and exhibition alongside the private session.

Discussion points: 

  • Where do HR, IT and Finance currently experience the biggest points of friction?
  • What happens when employee data is fragmented across multiple systems? 
  • Should workforce technology be owned by HR, IT, Finance, or jointly? 
  • How can organisations create a single source of truth for workforce data? 
  • What processes benefit most from connecting HR, payroll, IT and Finance? 
  • How can better workforce data improve decision-making at executive level? 
  • What does successful cross-functional collaboration look like? 

Key takeaways:

  • Identify opportunities to automate repetitive HR processes.

  • Understand where AI can genuinely augment HR teams.

  • Explore how automation can free HR capacity for higher-value work.

  • Share practical approaches to measuring the impact of HR technology.
