The Global Payroll Titan award program celebrates, empowers, and recognizes payroll professionals who are responsible for processing multicountry payrolls. A titan is a positive influence in the industry who demonstrates innovative thinking and above-and-beyond commitment to the profession.
This year, 15 eligible global payroll professionals were nominated by their peers, and 1,584 votes were cast for the People’s Choice portion of the award.
Awasthee also focuses on building talent and has sponsored more than 60 of her team members for industry-recognized certification, such as the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) and the Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) certification. She has created standardized training and an on-the-job curriculum for her teams, which has resulted in streamlining their training and continuing education from 138 days to only 90 days.
