In this episode, Pete and Julie go behind the scenes on the Payroll Profession Confidence Survey. Pete shares the origins, purpose, and passion behind the first-of-its-kind research approach that aims to "take the pulse" of the critical payroll profession globally for a new annual Payroll Profession Confidence Index report being unveiled at the upcoming Payroll Org’s 42nd Annual Payroll Congress in Nashville, TN on May 7 to 10th. About the Payroll Profession Confidence Survey: This survey is targeted to any payroll practitioner, leader, stakeholder, or owner engaged with payroll operations in their organization. What do we hope to learn through this important research: The current sentiment and outlook for the payroll profession and community. Which tangible and intangible factors are key to payroll's success? How executive leaders can best champion payroll for greater value through improved business outcomes. The biggest challenges and obstacles to payroll elevating its presence in the organization. Where organizations should focus investments to support payroll as a strategic value enabler. How this survey is different from other payroll surveys: This survey goes beyond the standard operational payroll survey by taking a sentiment-based approach rather than focusing on what they have and what someone can sell them. It is also completely un-sponsored and non-monetized research, solely designed to raise awareness for the profession, and entirely anonymous and will drive the annual Payroll Profession Confidence Index report, with the first year used as a baseline with future research shaped year over year.

On this episode, Pete and Julie discuss the nebulas world of HR transformation and dive into the question…what does HR transformation mean, and how do you know if you’re doing it right? Many organizations today are navigating transformation journeys to modernize and digitize their HR and payroll operating models globally. It’s a nebulas term - often overused and sometimes a goal that is anything but clear - but what does it enable, provide, or mean for a business taking it on? Pete and Julie unpack the topic to explain and share their POVs on this and many more questions, including where to start, what the key ingredients are to achieving HR transformation, how to know if you are doing it right, whether it’s a destination or a journey - and are you ever actually ‘there’. They also address why firms today can’t put off HR transformation any longer. Connect with us: LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/hr-payroll-2-0 Twitter: @HRPayroll2_0 @PeteTiliakos @JulieFer_HR

They dive into a topic very real and close to both our roles - the "do nothing buyer", and unpack the challenge of HR technology and services buyers reaching a "no decision" in a competitive bid scenario. Including key drivers of the no-decision outcome, why a no-decision outcome can sometimes make sense, how to avoid them altogether, and how to recover when a "no-decision" occurs to keep the organization moving forward.
