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.
