Payroll is part and parcel of any company structure, but there’s more to it than just processing payroll – and that’s People and Culture. 

In today’s episode, we're going to dive into how People and Culture in HR is bigger than processing payroll.

The HR function should not just be cutting checks for payroll or signing off on a handbook. It's more about finding ways to communicate with your employees how important they are and letting them know and feel how much you appreciate them.

People and Culture starts with payroll because that's where the trust-building starts. Sure, you can have the best intentions. But if you can't get that one right, your people aren't going to see anything else, and that's what’s going to create the kind of culture within your team. At the end of the day, you can't have a fully functioning HR department when you can't get the basics down, payroll included – but then again, it’s more than just payroll!

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why people and culture starts with payroll 
• Why HR is a trust-builder
• How to create your people and culture process
• Why a handbook is very important
• Recognizing the difference between leadership and management
• The hiring piece
• How to create your own culture of connection
