This episode is from a live webinar recording of The HR and Payroll Foundation series.

In our third of five HR & Payroll Foundations webinars, we addressed crucial topics that HR & Payroll leaders should consider as their workforce face the cost-of-living crisis and may be struggling to make ends meet. 

How can a more flexible payment offering make a difference?

The reality is that the cost-of-living crisis is not likely to ease anytime soon. For millions of people, this means the value of their earnings is eroded; even if they receive a pay rise it’s likely to be well below their needs, meaning a cut in real earnings.

For employers, this poses several challenges, not least the potential damage that arises from having a stressed and underperforming workforce. But it also adds to the risk of staff moving on – something that is already being seen in the post-Covid ‘Great Resignation’ – with people more likely to seek a better-paid job.

According to a study by flexible payment provider Wagestream, nearly seven out of 10 employees (68%) are concerned about their finances and hiding this from employers, and as many as one-in-four (24%) worry about money every single day. One way in which HR can help is through strengthening their relationship with their payroll departments and more specifically through considering the use of flexible pay. This enables employees to access money they have already earned when they need it, rather than having to wait until a set pay-day. For those on lower incomes, this can make a real difference, potentially avoiding the use of credit cards or, worse, payday lenders.

In this time of uncertainty, our esteemed panel discussed all of these topics, including expert advice and real-life case studies in detail during a perceptive, 1-hour free webinar.

Navigate the complexities of payroll management with confidence after tuning into the latest of the Payroll podcast with Karen Thomson and Simon Parsons. We tackle the new UK holiday pay regulations set to roll out, dissecting the upcoming challenges for employers and employees alike. From understanding 'week 53' to the potential pitfalls of misleading holiday pay rates by recruitment agencies, we provide you with the knowledge to ensure compliance, accuracy, and efficiency in your payroll practices.

Expect to leave this session with a sense of clarity on how to adapt to legislative changes and maintain your footing in the fast-paced world of payroll and HR.

We address the complexities of pay-rolling benefits mid-tax year, the importance of staying up-to-date with HMRC changes, and the criticality of adhering to national minimum wage laws. With the threat of security risks in open-source technology and the ongoing significance of GDPR in data protection, you'll discover the importance of cautious data handling.

As we look into the future of payroll, the potential of Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence and the impact on the industry. These technologies promise to elevate efficiency but come with a need for responsible implementation, especially in light of GDPR and data security.

Enabling Payroll & HR Systems to Drive Operational Efficiency #127

The second of five episodes, where we will address crucial topics that HR and payroll leaders can't ignore, as they seek to create the right people management ecosystem for their business.

Due to rapid growth or change accelerated by a revolution in ways of working post-pandemic, some businesses have been forced to streamline their operations and reduce multiple systems and tools into one. With no central governance, this caused havoc for payroll and HR.

Add in the complexities of an increasingly remote workforce and a looming threat for businesses that have inherited legacy tech from M&As, and operations could well be at their most fraught. So much so that some believe payroll should defect and become its own function away from HR and finance.

In this climate of operational uncertainty, our esteemed panel is discussing all of these industry trends, expert predictions and real-life case studies in detail during an insightful, but accessible episode.

In this payroll podcast episode, we discover:

Creating the foundations for Payroll & HR Success (Payroll Foundations Part 1)

This episode focuses on thesix key drivers that lead to payroll success.

The first of five episodes, where we will address crucial topics that HR and payroll leaders can't ignore, as they seek to create the right people management ecosystem for their business.

HR leaders are driving overall business strategy, and they’ve got their work cut out for them. Now they are tasked with cultivating people ecosystems that are cost-efficient, future-proof and primed for growth.

However, without a solid operational HR foundation, organisations can run into compliance issues, payroll problems, or process issues that erode employee trust and derail HR’s strategies.

In the first in our series of five Foundations episodes, we combine a wealth of HR research and a panel of industry thought leaders to look into the future.

In our first episode, we will discuss the shared challenges that organisations experience when it comes to payroll and HR, dive deep into what is driving these challenges, and give actionable advice on how businesses can develop a solid HR ecosystem to overcome them.

What are the discussion points in the episode?

Who should listen?

Senior decision-makers tasked with steering business strategy for HR, Payroll and Workforce Management, or managers looking to maximise the efficiency of existing HCM systems and software.

Nick Dayis joined onThe Payroll Podcast byTed Bechman, the Chief Finance Officer and Founder ofIncome Group!

Now, with everyone predicting that 2023 will be a year of evolution for the payroll industry, Nick invited Ted Bechman on to the 121st episode of The Payroll Podcast Show to find out more about a hot topic that exists right in the centre of this evolution and that’s to discuss Earned Wage Access (also known as EWA) or Pay-On-Demandservices as its also known.

Nick wanted to determine what EWA means for payroll – is it an opportunity or a threat?

Income Group have recently developed IGsend, an Instant Payment service for busy payroll teams. IGsend is a solution that enables payroll teams and small business owners to make instant payroll payments in just a couple of clicks, enabling employees to be paid more frequently or in line with their working patterns.

There is a lot of misconception around current EWA solutions, with many payroll professionals still unaware of how far the needle has moved since the concept was first introduced. For example, the Income Group EWA IGsend solution comes at no additional cost to employees, meaning they can access wages earned in real-time for free.

So, with 80% of employees saying they would prefer to have their pay automatically streamed into their bank accounts as they earn it and with 91% of millennial workers stating that they think their employer should provide Earned Wage Access – Nick wanted to find out more today about the evolution of Earned Wage Access and who better to ask than the founder of Income Group – Ted Bechman!

In this “EWA - Opportunity or Threat for the Payroll Professional?” episode with Ted Bechman onThe Payroll Podcast, we also explore:

What does the word payroll mean to you?Why is the payroll professional community the best-kept corporate secret?Is humility always a strength?EWA is not new – why is it different this time?Are we now in the perfect storm of need, technology and management?There has been pushback from the Payroll community - are the concerns justified?EWA is just the beginning of the journey - what is the direction of travel?Is EWA a cost of employment?Should the employee bear the cost of EWA in part?Is the return on investing in EWA compelling?What do you think the future of payroll looks like?

Wow, I cannot believe I am bringing you the 100th episode!

Today I will summarise some of the critical topics The Payroll Podcast has covered. These topics include payroll tax compliance; employee benefits; the use of technology; automation; innovation; global complexities; education; payroll's evolution from transactional operation to strategic function; payroll career pathways, and much more.

The Covid pandemic accelerated a change in perspective towards Payroll. Payroll professionals were rightly praised as they worked tirelessly to keep the UK paid after over 11.7 million employee jobs were put through the furlough scheme at the cost of £70 billion. World leaders, such as the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, even publicly thanked the efforts of payroll practitioners "for playing your part in what has been an extraordinary effort." As a result, Payroll has been thrust into the limelight, and with it, we have seen an explosion of new payroll career pathways open within the industry.

Therefore, as we embark on the next 100 episodes, I will continue to endeavour to cover a wide range of topics, from digitisation and automation to global payroll transformation and emerging trends, and much more!

However, before we look forward, I also want to look back at some of the many insights and conversations that have helped shape the payroll industry into what it is today.

Here are 18 key takeaways I have discovered during the 99 episodes recorded to date:

Automation of payroll processes is increasing, allowing payroll professionals to focus on more strategic tasks and improve efficiency. Meanwhile, remember that automation and technology will not replace the payroll professional, but tasks within the traditional payroll role will.Integrating AI and machine learning in payroll processes will become more prevalent, providing new opportunities for automation, data analysis, and process optimisation. Companies are continuing to invest in payroll technologies. HCM and Payroll tech is a multi-billion-pound industry. On-Demand Pay is a particular area companies invest in because these solutions help employers manage earned wage access requests. Will this mean the dissolution of our traditional payroll cycles? Quite possibly.The employee is now the centre of the payroll experience. The employee payroll experience is becoming more critical as companies strive to attract and retain top talent. Companies will increasingly focus on creating a positive payroll experience for employees to improve retention and attract top talent.Payroll professionals should stay informed about the latest trends and technologies in the industry to position themselves for success in the future.Continuing education and professional development are essential for payroll professionals to stay ahead of the curve. Skills are the currency of the future; employees need to take actions that enable them to prepare for the future of automation, analytics and AI.The increase in global workforces will result in more cross-border payments and expertise concerning country-related payroll legislation. The barrier to hiring talent in international locations has been lowered, so this trend will only increase. In addition, the ability to deliver global payroll services remotely will become increasingly important, requiring new technologies and strategies to ensure smooth operations.There are a variety of career pathways available in Payroll across Global Payroll, data analytics, and technology. In fact, we recently identified over 60 career pathways, and yet I suspect that number has already increased to almost 100.Cloud-based payroll systems will continue to gain popularity as they provide increased flexibility, scalability, and security for remote payroll operations.Smart Interactive Payslips will make the payment process more efficient and accurate while giving workers better information and resources.The use of cryptocurrency for payrolling employees could become more prevalent, providing new opportunities for payroll professionals to explore and understand, especially now that over 300M people possess a digital wallet.Self-service portals and other tools will become more prevalent, making it easier for employees to access their pay and benefits information.Compliance with changing payroll legislation and regulations will become more critical, requiring payroll professionals to stay up to date on changing laws and regulations.Companies should also focus on building resilience in their payroll processes to adapt to unexpected changes caused by the pandemic.The importance of cybersecurity and data privacy in payroll operations will become more critical as payroll processes, and data move online and as ransomware and cyberattacks increase in likelihood.The adoption of the pay-on-demand model will increase, requiring payroll professionals to adapt and develop new processes to manage these models. The concept of on-demand pay is gaining traction, which can help improve financial well-being and reduce employee stress.Embrace change and welcome in the future of Payroll, as the line between global Payroll and reward, finance and HR will continue to blur.The future of work will demand strong leadership and vision; transferable skills will be essential for bridging the gap between roles. Therefore, payroll professionals should focus on developing their leadership skills, as the successful future payroll manager will be one who can manage both machines and people.Payroll professionals are shifting towards more strategic roles, such as providing insights and analysis to business leaders. From understanding regional pay gaps and reward scheme adoption rates to helping HR with absenteeism trends and pay review statistics, Payroll plays a fundamental role in supporting business leaders with information that enables them to compete more effectively.

My dream is for "The Payroll Podcast" to become a comprehensive resource for all payroll professionals wishing to stay informed about the latest developments and trends in the industry. 

The show has helped equip all payroll professionals with the tools needed to succeed in the new world of work. This includes attracting new people into the industry and building the next generation of payroll leaders who can and will adapt to the ever-changing landscape and needs of the modern workforce.

Let us be proud of the profession. Payroll in 2023 will be more strategic than it has ever been before. Payroll has now been placed at the heart of the employee experience. Therefore. Payroll can influence employee financial health, wellness and engagement by putting people at the centre of its approach. The profession embodies the best of HR, Finance, Technology, Automation and Strategy. Together, let us continue to raise the profile of the profession!

From the bottom of my humbled heart, if you are one of the 80,000+ people who have taken the time to tune in and listen to any episode of The Payroll Podcast - Thank you!

I remain very grateful to you all, and if you can, I will leave with these three simple requests:

1. Please subscribe to the show so you can catch all future episodes.

2. Please share the show with all of your payroll colleagues.

3. Please take a moment to review The Payroll Podcast if it has helped you on your payroll journey.
