Professional July/August 2020

In a crisis that threatened to keep people apart, they became unstoppable together.

Because together, we can make sure employees are paid accurately and on-time, every time. Together, we can navigate the complexity of emergency legislation changes, even as the goalposts keep shifting. Together, we can make sure your employees are recognised and supported. After all, recognition is what drives us to keeping going through the toughest of times. And we recognise payroll and HR professionals are unsung heroes. We also know that even the darkest of clouds has a silver living. In Chinese, the word for ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters: one meaning ‘danger’, the other meaning ‘opportunity’. In many organisations, the essential pillars of engagement, trust, and transparency are being built stronger than ever. Technology is being used to turbocharge teamwork and productivity for remote employees. Business leaders are finding better ways to ready their defences against the forces of risk and uncertainty. So, in the face of the current crisis, we see an opportunity for transformation. To create an employee experience that meets the needs of a modern, diverse, and digital workforce. To put the success of your people (and your ‘people professionals’) at the heart of your organisation. And most importantly, to make people feel truly appreciated for the work they do. Alone, it can feel impossible to tackle these challenges. But together, we can reach new heights.

In times of crisis, we’re affected in different ways. And we have different roles to play. But we all share a common goal: to protect the wellbeing of those around us. Our families. Our friends. Our communities. And, of course, our colleagues.

The global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has created disruption in the world of work unlike we’ve ever seen before. All of a sudden, the bedroom, kitchen, living room becomes your new office. The news is awash with stories of sickness and absence, furloughing and job losses. Uncertainty adds further feelings of stress, worry, and isolation to an already stressful, worrying, and isolating situation. But there is one thing we can be certain of. That despite facing unprecedented challenges, payroll and HR professionals are working tirelessly to deliver an exceptional employee experience. At Zellis, we’ve seen this first hand – and we’re proud to support our customers at every step along the way.

Unstoppable Together. #makingpeoplefeelappreciated #unstoppabletogether #unsungheroes
