Industry: Professional Associations & Workforce Development
Initiative: Cultivating Confident, Capable Payroll Leaders at Every Level

Who They Are: PAYO (Payroll.org) is the payroll industry leader in education, publications, and networking, helping its constituents grow their leadership practices and stay on the cutting edge of payroll industry standards. Each year, PAYO enrolls more than 100,000 participants from more than 100 countries in its training programs, and provides publications, newsletters, and resources to help payroll professionals maintain compliance.

The Challenge:

Middle and senior management payroll professionals are often under-recognized, under-resourced—and overwhelmed. While they master compliance and precision, many haven’t received leadership training tailored to their unique stressors and roles. Payroll.org needed a leadership experience that hit the mark, resonated across ranks, and honored the critical work of its professionals.

They needed more than a keynote—they needed a movement.
