Canadian Payroll Professionals rely on statistics every day to establish and measure the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that contribute to their organization's operations, people management, strategic direction, and success.
These Payroll KPIs can include
- Total payroll compared to last period,
- Percent of new employees over a given period,
- Total payroll to gross revenue, and;
- So much more.
It’s also important to remember that not only can statistics be a powerful tool for your company but they can also benefit the payroll profession as a whole.
Every year the Canadian Payroll Association promotes National Payroll Week (this year it is September 11–15). As part of that initiative they run two surveys:
Through these surveys, important payroll related insights are gathered and shared during National Payroll Week to promote the importance of Payroll to all Canadians through education and advocacy.
The deadline to complete these surveys is end of day Tuesday, August 1, 2017.
