Payroll Perspectives — Kelly Pora

from Atlas Partners Podcast Hosted by Shawny Smith

In this episode of Payroll Perspectives, Kelly Pora joins us to talk about the realities of leading payroll through change — from navigating a major Dayforce implementation and increasingly complex compliance obligations, to preparing for Payday Super and building trust across the business. Kelly shares her perspective on why successful payroll is about far more than getting the numbers right. We discuss the importance of strong communication, knowing when to bring in specialist support, developing junior payroll talent, and what leadership really looks like when you're responsible for both people and pay. It’s a practical and candid conversation about the evolving role of payroll — and why today's payroll leaders need to be equal parts technical expert, problem solver, communicator and people leader.
