DECEMBER - JANUARYHR TECH OUTLOOK EUROPE8In My OpinionCarsten Bertling, Regional Head of HR Europe & Global Head HR Governance, Systems and Processes, Henkel (NYSE: HEN)ByThe human resource management of international companies is becoming increasingly extensive and complex due to the ongoing globalization and digitalization. Growing volumes of data make it necessary to establish modern IT infrastructures and implement innovative technological solutions. Standardized and efficiently managed global HR processes can significantly contribute to establishing holistic corporate governance and meeting increasing compliance requirements.Consumer goods and adhesive manufacturer Henkel employs nearly 50,000 employees from 124 nations worldwide, with approximately 85 percent of them working outside of Germany, the company's home country. The company generates large quantities of personnel data that need to be continually updated and analyzed. Therefore, our global HR management faces the challenge of consistently digitizing HR processes while considering country-specific labor laws and regulations, such as data protection requirements.THINK GLOBAL, ACT LOCAL ­ INTERNATIONAL PAYROLL PLATFORM STRENGTHENS GOVERNANACE & EFFICIENCY AT HENKEL Carsten Bertling
