The latest episode of the People Agenda podcast dives into the evolving world of payroll and reward strategy, offering insights that every HR and payroll professional needs to hear. Hosted by Chris Howard from Lace Partners, this episode features two industry experts: Simon Puryer, Head of Payroll Practice at Lace Partners, and Vickie Graham, Managing Director of Reward Strategy. Together, they unpack the highlights from the recent Reward Strategy Summit, a flagship event attracting over 200 senior professionals from across sectors. The discussion begins with reflections on the summit's purpose and audience, before moving into the key themes shaping payroll and reward today. One major topic is the challenge of building a compelling business case for investment in payroll technology and processes. Simon shares practical advice on how to engage stakeholders, tailor messaging for different audiences, and demonstrate value beyond simple cost comparisons. Vickie adds her perspective on common pitfalls, such as focusing solely on accuracy and timeliness without articulating the wider organisational benefits. Another hot topic is artificial intelligence. Both speakers explore how AI is influencing payroll operations, from real-time reporting to shifting roles towards more analytical and compliance-focused tasks. They emphasise that AI is not about replacing people but enhancing processes, and they caution against viewing it as a quick fix. Incremental change and understanding the legislative context remain critical. For HR and payroll leaders, this episode offers actionable insights on future-proofing operations, aligning strategies with employee expectations, and preparing for regulatory changes like the EU pay transparency directive. Whether you're planning for 2026 or looking to optimise your current processes, this conversation provides clarity and inspiration. https://www.lacepartners.com/what-should-payroll-leaders-know-from-the-reward-strategy-summit-2025

Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) is no longer about spreadsheets and headcount forecasts. It's about driving real business change. In this episode of the People Agenda podcast, host Chris Howard is joined by some of our people analytics team; Nancy Allen, Jo Clarke de Dromantin and Julian Holmes as they reflect on the SWP Conference London. During the conference it was acknowledged how SWP had shifted from cost control to business transformation. Today, SWP exists to tackle real business challenges including productivity, growth, skills shortages, and AI adoption, rather than simply managing numbers or budgets. SWP needs to account for all forms of work. That means looking beyond full-time employees to include contractors and contingent labour, as well as bots, automation systems, and AI agents. Workforce planning is evolving into workforce plus automation planning, reflecting how work is truly delivered today.

That's the compelling premise of The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook by David Edwards, which highlights what it's really like to grapple with workforce challenges on the ground. David joins the HR on the Offensive podcast to discuss the contents of his new book with host Chris Howard and LACE Executive Director Julian Holmes.

For many, the title has a different meaning depending on the business and the requirements (the scope also differs depending on which ‘hat' a CPO wears), often seen as just another corporate rebrand of HR. Yet, as Kathryn Kendall, CPO at Saltus, explains in this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast, the role is complex and nuanced. It's about creating the conditions where people thrive so organisations can perform at their best. She discusses with host Chris Howard that the modern CPO is embedded in the business, understanding its culture, and championing its people strategy at every level.

Then we get into the latest rankings battle: should Penn State or Texas really be sitting at No. 1?I'll break down why Bryce Underwood starting as a freshman at Michigan isn't as simple as “he's a five-star, let him play.” Plus, we've got to address the growing beef between Black sports announcers and African-American podcast hosts — from Ryan Clark vs. RG3 to Ryan Clark vs. Cam Newton — and why it's doing more harm than good.And finally, the sports gambling boom — from Oklahoma QB John Mateer's alleged betting scandal to the hypocrisy of leagues partnering with betting companies while punishing players for the same thing.

Addiction in the workplace is often a silent issue. In this episode of the HR on the Offensive podcast host Chris Howard and guest, Dr. Georges Petitjean, Clinical Director at Inclusion, cut through the taboo to reveal why HR leaders can't afford to ignore it. Georges explains that addiction is as a spectrum, from low-risk use, on one end, to compulsive behaviours continued despite harm, on the other. This not only includes well-known addictions but also caffeine, prescription medication, or even behavioural addictions such as gambling. All of these challenges have an impact on the employee's personal life but also their work life, and as such should be a consideration for HR leaders.

In a recent conversation, Chris Howard sat down with LACE payroll experts Simon Bunday and Simon Puryer to unpack the not only the insights from our latest whitepaper but also the power of our payroll community.

Malicious actors are flooding networks with false attacks, which are, in essence, feints with knives. Digital technology can multiply this activity, or noise, to such an extent that the real attack may be missed. The question is: How can we differentiate between the noise and the actual attack? Today, we have Chris Howard and Zach Vaugh, two experts from Vectra AI. They explain Vectra AI's approach to understanding threat attack intelligence. For the past fourteen years, Vectra AI has focused on this noise-to-signal ratio, garnering some thirty-five patents in this endeavor. They understand the nuances of code morphing, lateral movement, and something curiously called “living off the land.” As a result, they alert a manager to suspicious activity; leaders can be assured they are not dealing with a false alarm. This innovation is important today because Zero Trust is being implemented today. The concept is to allow the right person to have the right data at the right time. How do you know the data has not been injected with malicious code?
