People are a small organisation’s most important asset, but are firms getting the most from their talent and payroll technology?
HR professionals in small businesses face a raft of challenges, from the increasing need to digitalise their payroll, to ensuring they have the processes and frameworks to deal with their people in the right way. These small HR teams juggle multiple priorities at once, often with limited resources and support to draw on.
Small business HR: top tips for people and payroll (webinar)
As we approach tax year-end, now is the right time to revisit your payroll processes and look at the people issues you should prioritise in the year ahead.

- Tax changes on the horizon, including changes to the employment allowance
- Practical tips for around supporting, attracting and retaining talent
- How introducing the right frameworks will transform the work of your HR function
- Supporting managers in getting the best from their teams.
