• FIve New Year's Resolutions for HR and Payroll Professionals

  It is a new year and you know what that means, time for resolutions. For those in HR and payroll this can be the most hectic time of year, especially for those experiencing seasonal employee fluctuations, year-end payroll, or an implementation.

Resolutions should stretch you, but also be achievable. The following do just that, allowing you to grow as an individual and professional in 2019.

  "Pay it forward and take the time to help someone else in their career.  I’ve been very fortunate to have had accomplished managers that mentored and developed me early in my career.  I can honestly say the lessons they taught me then still ring true in my everyday work today. "

Ever hear the phrase “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.”? Of course, you still need the skills to land your next HR position, but being a known commodity is often a differentiator between hired and not.

  SHRM, APA and other industry events are important, but look to expand your attendance beyond these organizations. Alumni events, meetups for people with other interests, and gatherings you find on places like LinkedIn can all be the key to advancing your career.
