The payroll industry is going through a massive period of change due to globalisation, legislation, communication, the rise of AI and technology. And because of all this, payroll professionals need to develop their skills and take the opportunity to raise the public profile of the industry and to start securing a seat at the strategic board table.
Nick Day, Director of Recruitment at JGA Recruitment, says, “the power of payroll individuals is going to increase.”Day argues that the importance of payroll professionals is only going to increase as there are numerous reasons why the role of payroll is a business critical function.
Without professional development your business could be put at risk.
“Payroll managers are not just number punchers, they are influencers, decision makers and users of company data,” says Day.
