The Vistra Payroll Report 2026
Payroll has reached a defining inflexion point.
Once seen as an administrative necessity, payroll has evolved into a high-impact strategic lever. When powered by unified data, it provides the clarity needed to power workforce decisions, strengthen global compliance, and build lasting employee trust.
Based on an independent survey of 251 payroll leaders across the UK and US, The Vistra Payroll Report 2026 explores the path to payroll excellence and reveals what separates organisations that are merely "keeping up" from those turning payroll into a competitive advantage.
