With over 40 years of combined experience Reward Strategy and The Payroll Centre have created the UK’s largest independent payroll conference.
The safety and well-being of our participants are of paramount importance. After careful consideration and in light of the latest government advice around physical events, Reward Strategy has made the decision to convert Payroll & Reward Conference to a fully digital, broadcast event.
In a year in which the pandemic has become a catalyst for innovation, agility and transformation the progressive agenda will feature fully-interactive digital sessions, providing you with all you need to run a successful payroll function. The updated agenda combines the original sessions with some new speakers and panels to cover best practices in dealing with the Covid legislation and changing working patterns. Coming at a time of unprecedented levels of change to payroll and HR legislation, there will be plenty for payroll professionals to discuss and absorb.
