Feedback

I have always found the GPA events to be extremely informative with high quality speakers covering key topics, great networking opportunities and fantastic value for money too!”

A great day and so good to have so many payroll professionals under one roof! As always the speakers gave a very good overview as to what is going on in the real payroll world

The GPA team were very helpful, professional and welcoming. This really made the day most very enjoyable as well as being informative. The setting for the venue was well-chosen for getting there and the meetings were well-organised and structured. There was something for everyone concerned with the complexities and issues in payroll both in the UK and globally, thank you GPA!

Rethinking Work in the Digital Era

The changing landscape of employment, post pandemic and in the digital era of AI and Chat GPT’s are overturning core assumptions about work, jobs, and employees. A McKinsey study provided a new framework for thinking about the new world of work. There is a need to define the continuing contours of change and understand the new principles for organising the emerging workforce. Organisations no longer bring people to work but work is being taken to people.

How do we understand the notion of full-time jobs, flex work, the nature of occupations, demand and supply of talent. The organizational structures in the future will start to look different as the new jobs defined by technologies will extend across functions with more and more salaried jobs moving to independent jobs.

In this evolving landscape, what are the trends that will shape the future of payroll management. In this keynote, Dr Palan will share his insights on how we can Rethink Work in the digital era and the likely transformational shifts that will affect Payroll Management and Human Resource management.

Presented by Dr Palan, University of Cyberjaya
