Opening General Session


How can I Please Others and still RESPECT Myself in the Morning?

Payroll is the foundation of the relationship between human capital and the employer organization. Payroll drives recruiting, revenue, and retention. This session explores the interpersonal skills needed to elevate the payroll professional when disseminating the payroll data. While people don’t like to hear “no” or “not now,” this session empowers payroll leaders to deliver unwelcome news while maintaining their self-respect. We will address how to put the power to please into the hands of the international payroll professional while increasing SELF-RESPECT.
