General Session

A Payroll Leaders Guide to Influencing Government Decision-Makers
Alice Jacobsohn, Esq.
Director of Government Relations
PayrollOrg

In a highly regulated industry, payroll professionals require leadership skills to influence government decision-makers. In this session, we will hone your skills of persuasion to better your ability at problem-solving with our government decision-makers, just like we do within your payroll department. These skills expand on your payroll leadership skills to include understanding how government agencies make decisions and methods for relating to government employees. Your actions can help prevent unwanted laws and regulations, improved compliance capabilities, opened doors for new ideas, and enhanced opportunities for payroll development, but quantification is elusive. Whether we are in the room or not, policymakers are talking and making decisions about issues that might make or break payroll operations.
