Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Payroll Is a Trust Function with Special Guest Kelly Westfall
Q: What advice do you have for payroll professionals aiming to rise to the C‑suite?
Advice centers on building credibility with data and calm communication, developing a personal brand, leveraging networks and mentorship, and consistently contributing to discussions with executive impact rather than just providing the correct legal answer.
Payroll Is a Trust Function with Special Guest Kelly Westfall
Q: What has changed in payroll since you started, and what's needed to succeed today?
She notes a shift from old‑school, command‑and‑control dynamics to a collaborative, resource‑rich environment with strong communities, local chapters, and ongoing education. Success now requires technical knowledge, communication, influence, and the ability to work with leaders across the organization.
Payroll Is a Trust Function with Special Guest Kelly Westfall
Q: How did you end up in payroll and what kept you there?
Kelly explains that she fell into payroll while working in HR and realized how rewarding it is to pay people accurately, particularly in multi‑state cases, which combines math with helping people. She emphasizes the human impact and the ongoing learning that keeps her engaged.
When IT Meets HR with Special Guest Amy Wang
Q: How did IT lead to HR in your career and what shaped that transition?
Amy describes moving from IT and project management into HR Shared Services as a natural progression, driven by the need to centralize disparate functions, and emphasizes the role of governance and trust in making the pivot successful.
The Past, Present, & Future of HR Reinvention with Trey Campbell
Q: How did you get into the HR payroll space and why do you stay involved?
The path started with work in large-scale outsourcing and a realization that HR and payroll required a very different approach from IT—one that emphasized industry-specific processes, local compliance, and later, automation. Staying in the space has been about evolving with technology, leading firms through change, and focusing on sustainable, scalable solutions that combine technology with trust and human service.
