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!

Excel in Payroll: Unleashing Resilience for Professional Growth
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) defines stress as the 'adverse reaction people have to excessive pressures or other types of demand placed on them'. Payroll professionals are in a pressured environment every day due to the essential nature of our work and, as conscientious people, we are potentially at risk of heightened stress levels because we take pride in what we do. As an industry, we are getting better at understanding the importance of wellbeing and prioritising our mental and emotional health.
Join Dannielle Haig in this session to help you understand why stress management is fundamental. Danielle will help you with your personal stress management techniques by offering practical knowledge to recognise the warning signs and sharing essential tools to cope with stress when pressure builds. The best way to build a resilient payroll career is to invest in your own resilience, too.
Speaker: Dannielle Haig Director and Principal Business Psychologist at DH Consulting
