Case Study: Repsol

As a result, the payroll process was complex to manage. There was no standardisation across the company, and it lacked the flexibility to factor in the specific reporting, regulatory and legal requirements specific to each country. Manual intervention was often required, and it was incredibly time consuming to pull together management information reports.

Partnering with Alight

Alight’s first step was to undertake complete system diagnosis. This audit provided Repsol with an accurate overview of its current set up, including potential limitations, risks and costs of potential failures. All of this was matched against potential solutions.

From there, Alight worked with the Repsol team to define a payroll solution that would best service Repsol now and long into the future. It was decided that a cloud HCM system would provide vital standardized and global processes. Not only would this be more efficient to run, but it would also integrate with the current HCM system, further removing the potential for human error and creating a single source of workforce data.

Working together, Repsol and Alight created a guide with over 30 initiatives for improvement. This would simplify Repsol’s existing payroll system by standardizing it and improving the integration with the existing HCM, Workday.
