Join a small group of senior payroll leaders for a facilitated, peer-led discussion focused on how the payroll function is evolving and what that means for leaders today.
This interactive community session is designed to create open, practical conversations rather than presentations. Together, we will explore how the role of payroll leadership has shifted in recent years, how well that shift is understood outside payroll, and what challenges are emerging as automation and AI become more embedded in payroll operations.
Through shared experiences and discussion, we will also look ahead to the next two to three years, considering where payroll teams are likely to feel the greatest pressure and how leaders are preparing their people and operating models in response.
This session is ideal for senior payroll professionals who value peer insight, thoughtful discussion, and space to reflect on the future of the profession in a trusted environment.
We’ll be debating questions like:
-
How do you feel the role of a senior payroll leader has changed over the last few years — and how well is that shift understood outside payroll?
-
Many payroll teams are starting to use AI or intelligent automation in some form. Where have you seen it genuinely reduce risk or effort — and where does it introduce new concerns?
-
Looking ahead, what do you think will challenge payroll teams the most over the next two-to-three years — and how are you preparing your people for that now?
This session is designed to be interactive, to encourage networking and debate, as well as to further build your own payroll community of professionals. If you work in the Payroll industry as a practitioner in a Payroll team (we are limiting this event to practitioners and not suppliers to the industry), join us on Wednesday, 29th April at 5pm.
