Reflecting on 2025
A s 2025 draws to a close, it’s a good moment to take a breath, step back from the melee and reflect. It’s been a year full of challenges, change, and moments that tested our resilience but through it all, global payroll professionals have kept things running, steadying the ship for the organisations we support and helping employees feel more confident, even in choppy waters. It’s also the time to notice and celebrate our wins, big and small, and those of the colleagues around us. Our focus this issue is positive change: Ayşe Nazmiye Uça examines Why Earned Wage Access Fits Türkiye’s Moment ,
Melanie Pizzey curiosity, dedication, and drive make this community what it is. Here’s to a well-deserved pause and all the good things ahead in 2026! Jérôme Philipps shows How Payroll Maturity Builds Stronger Businesses , and Sam Barnes shares his insights into Flipping the HR Script with an Employer of Record . What we do every day touches real people, real teams, and real business outcomes.
