BY: Felicia DeInnocentiis | 03/14/23

Nominations for the Global Payroll Management Institute’s (GPMI) 4th Annual Global Payroll Titan Award close on Tuesday, 21 March 2023. The award is intended to identify outstanding global payroll professionals nominated by their own peers in the industry.

Last year, the awards program received more than 30 nominations for the Titan Award and more than 1,500 votes were cast in the People’s Choice voting portion.

Eligibility, Voting Process

Global payroll pros can nominate themselves or colleagues who have exhibited exemplary performance in the industry and who successfully tackle the complex job of processing payroll in multiple countries.

Nominees for consideration must have the following:

  • A minimum of three years of payroll processing experience
  • A minimum of two years of processing payroll globally and/or supporting payroll in at least three different countries
  • Be at least 18 years of age

All eligible nominees will then progress to a “People’s Choice” voting competition open to the public, who can vote daily for their Titan. People’s Choice voting will be open from 5-20 April.

Finally, all nominees will be judged by a peer review panel of GPMI judges. They will review using the following criteria:

  • Demonstrate high standards of professionalism
  • Innovative or outstanding approach to payroll on a multinational scale
  • Evidence of continued commitment to the global payroll industry
  • Evidence of giving back to the profession, either within their own organization or through membership or participation with an organization representing payroll

The nominee with the highest overall score will be deemed the recipient of the Titan Award. This year’s Titan will receive free education from GPMI, a special citation, and a digital badge to include on their LinkedIn profile.

The award recipient will be announced at the end of Global Payroll Week (GPW) on Friday, 5 May 2023. The Titan Award and more GPW events and information can be followed on social media with the official event hashtag #GlobalPayWeek.
