Siemens Healthineers Oncology employs several thousand people across the Asia-Pacific region. In the past, its overseas subsidiaries relied on different payroll providers and leave management processes, resulting in inconsistent data formats and disconnected systems. As the regulatory landscape became increasingly complex, the company needed a digital solution that could integrate HR operations across the region, adapt proactively to regulatory changes, and—most importantly—provide a simple, seamless experience for employees, HR professionals, and managers.

As a global leader in radiation oncology and diagnostic solutions, Siemens Healthineers Oncology has built a strong portfolio around its core offerings, including medical linear accelerators and diagnostic and therapeutic systems. Its technologies support precise treatment for more than 10 million patients each year, reinforcing its position at the forefront of the industry.

One Unified Approach Across Asia-Pacific: Accurate and Hassle-Free Payroll

In 2020, CDP formally partnered with Siemens Healthineers Oncology to develop an integrated regional solution covering payroll and leave management.

CDP consolidated the company’s payroll operations across the region onto a unified platform. Built-in local rule libraries automatically reflect the latest regulatory requirements, enabling end-to-end payroll processing, including payroll calculations, bank integration, and payslip access. Even amid regulatory changes—such as Hong Kong’s transition to the eMPF platform and adjustments to Singapore’s Central Provident Fund requirements—payroll processing has remained error-free. Headquarters can also monitor payroll progress across countries in real time, eliminating the need for manual data transfers and reconciliation.

For employees, the most tangible benefit is simple: their salaries are paid accurately and on time, while detailed payslips are readily accessible on their mobile devices without the need to contact HR. For HR, month-end reconciliation has become far more efficient. Instead of manually checking figures across multiple entities, the system performs most validation tasks automatically, leaving the HR team to focus on key review and approval checkpoints.

Requesting Time Off in Just a Few Taps

The partnership was later expanded to include leave management. Overseas branches now manage leave centrally through the Global WorkLife platform. The system is configured to reflect local leave regulations in each country. For example, it automatically tracks the three-month validity period for compensatory leave in Singapore and calculates monthly sick leave entitlements in Hong Kong. CDP has also integrated Global WorkLife with the Workday system used in mainland China, enabling real-time data synchronization across multiple systems.

With system integration and automated rules in place, everyday leave management has become much simpler. For example, an employee can submit an annual leave request from their smartphone, while the system automatically checks their available leave balance and the validity of the requested leave. Employees can track approval status directly on the platform and cancel requests when needed. Managers can approve requests with a single click directly from email, making the entire process faster and more transparent. Regardless of where employees are based, they can enjoy a consistent and convenient leave management experience.

Digital leave management has also transformed the way the HR team operates. Previously, HR had to closely monitor local leave policies and manually consolidate records from subsidiaries across Asia-Pacific. Today, system integration, real-time data synchronization, and automated workflows have significantly reduced this administrative workload.

Smoother Operations, Better Experiences for Everyone

Since the payroll partnership began in 2020, Siemens Healthineers Oncology Asia-Pacific has consistently maintained a 100% payroll accuracy rate and on-time salary disbursements. Even amid frequent regulatory changes across different markets and internal organizational restructuring, payroll has remained error-free, supporting uninterrupted business operations.

The leave management solution, launched in 2026, has also received positive feedback. During the initial phase of deployment, 80% of employees were already actively using Global WorkLife, demonstrating strong adoption of the digital approach. One employee in Hong Kong commented, “In the past, I had to calculate my sick leave allowance myself, but now the system makes it crystal clear.” Managers have also benefited from faster approval processes, while questions and confusion arising from complex local leave rules have largely been eliminated.

Seamless Collaboration, Worry-Free Compliance

CDP’s AI-powered payroll and leave management solutions have helped Siemens Healthineers Oncology move from fragmented, siloed HR operations to a more connected regional model—and from complex, manual processes to greater simplicity and transparency. For a multinational organization operating across diverse markets, compliance, operational stability, and a seamless employee experience are not merely administrative priorities. They are essential to maintaining efficient operations and supporting sustainable business growth.
