Katie is a Senior Payroll Manager who is not afraid to speak out about the injustices and pressures that payroll departments are under and she openly promotes positive change to make the world of payroll a better environment to work in so what better place to do that than on the Payroll Podcast! Katie is not only passionate but also witty and this combination (I hope you will agree) has resulted in a brilliant and engaging episode that you won’t want to miss!
The hashtag #PayrollHumour has been a common theme found tagged in the majority of Katie’s posts on LinkedIn but behind her comedic skills, we discover exceptional payroll talents and passion that have propelled Katie to speak out and challenge the issues that payroll professionals face in order to build a better future for the industry.
