Thank you to APA for the opportunity to join all our members! #PayNews

A7 - With a rise in remote working - companies better be prepared to handle multi-state reporting/withholding! #PayNews

A7 - Proactivity pays off. Make the changes now to build in agility to your organization. When the next crisis hits (and it will!) you'll be glad you did. #PayNews

A7 The payroll profession is amazing at considering the needs of our employees. We must re-examine our openness to quickly adapt as business needs change. This involves both our mindset and process/system changes for flexibility. #PayNews

A6 - I find payroll professionals among the best at finding creative solutions with a clear goal in mind. Knowing your employees mortgage payment might be on the line has a way of focusing one's attention! #PayNews

RT @susiejbradley: A6: If you can roll with the punches, you can make great strides in streamlining processes. #PayNews

A6 - The resilience of the human spirit is incredible. If leaders put their people first and make decisions in their best interest, a crisis like COVID can bring them closer together. Making decisions in the face of uncertainty and clearly communicating builds trust. #PayNews

A5 - You'll find that your employees are much more open to change. Getting that buy-in is critical for any change management initiative to be successful. #PayNews

A5 - It starts with mindset shifts. Leaders and employees both have to discard the idea that physical attendance equals productivity. Specific to payroll, we have to be flexible to implement new options for time tracking and payment processes as that mindset changes. #PayNews

A4 - As we share in our Psychology of Change Management overview Stephanie, those early adopters have an outsized influence on others. @TheJimKohl is the exception. He's influential regardless of when he joins! #PayNews

RT @GATFMember: A4. Earlyt adopters created opportunities to begin working on solutions that were not needed prior to the pandemic. #PayNews

A4 - In times of crisis, people look to those they trust. Early adopters who responded well improved market positioning, built brand loyalty, and increased employee satisfaction. When people know your company cares about them through actions, it changes the relationship. #PayNews

A3 - You have to be even more in tune to external influences than normal as an organization during a crisis. Whether it's health and safety risks, legal or compliance topics, or changes in your market landscape, that knowledge is critical. #PayNews

A3 - Look for key external and internal impacts & risks. Identify your org’s response. Evaluate and take opportunities to change. Transmit info quickly to early responders. After that, leverage normal, existing communication channels more broadly. #PayNews

A2 - Our cross-functional teams initially had difficulty finding an effective working style. However, regular dialogue and clear feedback loops from the rest of the organization allowed us to really hit our stride. #PayNews

A2 - In a crisis, having clear communication and the right people involved early are two of the most critical steps. A cross-functional team with key leaders in your support functions (HR / Finance) and Operations departments allows for quick decisions. #PeopleAreKey #PayNews

A1 - We elected to establish new operations (including mask-making) within some teams that we never would have imagined at the start of 2020. #PayNews

A1 - COVID-19 required more rapid decision making than other situations. Organizations without agile approaches found themselves highly reactive. We ensured we had the knowledge and decision-making authority established in small, nimble teams that could react quickly. #PayNews

Pleasure to be here today with all of you. #PayNews
