activpayroll Newsletter
March 2022

| |
Welcome to our first Newsletter of 2022.
There’s a lot of change happening at activpayroll - and one small example of that is from now on every Newsletter will feature a Guest Editor to help you navigate the content we have curated for you each quarter.
So, I am your Guest Editor this quarter - my name is Claire Stewart, and I joined activpayroll as Service Delivery Manager 5 months ago. I love the family culture here, and how it is so uniquely balanced with a huge ambition to be the best that we can be for our customers. There is an exciting wind of change in the air.
As a relatively new employee, I was encouraged to watch the video “activpayroll: new chapter”. It was great to hear our Chief Executive Officer, Jason Allen, and our business leaders talk about the change that I feel every day in our working environment. I really enjoyed hearing about where we are on this journey of change, and the future for the company.
I also enjoyed reading the International Women’s Day article. It was truly empowering to hear the advice from some my strong, and independent female colleagues. As a mum of two boys, the piece on raising children, and being superwoman really resonated with me. We can successfully be a parent and build a career, although it is not always easy. I am sure all of us mums fall foul at some point to the "failed superwoman" syndrome mentioned in the article! It’s great to work for a company who recognises the importance of getting this balancing act right (for both mums, and dads!).
But of course our newsletter is really designed to benefit you, not talk about our exciting journey. So the latest news section is full of articles to keep you informed about changes in the world of payroll, whether that’s happening in Singapore, Lithuania, Indonesia, or Malaysia!
Let our teams know your thoughts. We love to hear your feedback.
