Five Top tips when entering The Global Payroll Awards 2023 

1) Plan ahead and Start early - Consider the awards criteria when planning your projects. Set clear objectives and ensure that your achievements meet them and Give yourself plenty of time to prepare your entry. Find out the entry deadline and make a start on gathering the information required for your chosen category at least 4-6 weeks ahead. 

2) Get buy-in - It’s all about teamwork…so make sure your peers and senior managers are aware of the awards and garner their support with the entry. They can provide you with useful information and invaluable feedback to help you create the best possible entry.

Always back up your claims with hard evidence, especially statistical and testimonial. Provide compelling before and after data, and quotes from third parties, wherever possible
