PayrollOrg (PAYO) is proud to partner with JGA Ventures, co-founded by Nick Day of U.K.-based JGA Recruitment Group, to offer AI training designed exclusively for payroll professionals who want to go from AI-anxious to AI-confident.
"AI for Payroll Leaders: From Fear to Influence" is taught by Nick himself. He is the author of "The Payroll Pivot: From Invisibility to Influence," host of The Payroll Podcast, and winner of PayrollOrg's 2024 Payroll Global Vision Award. Nick is also CEO and Co-Founder of JGA Recruitment Group, a recruitment agency specializing in payroll and HR talent acquisition across the UK, Europe, and the United States.
This self-directed online program combines 12 modules and 40+ lessons covering AI fundamentals, prompting, payroll-specific use cases, error detection, governance, strategic insight, and much more. It also tackles the part most AI training skips: the fear and uncertainty that stop capable payroll professionals from using AI at all. As AI adoption accelerates across all industries, this program is invaluable for payroll professionals looking to future-proof their skills and operations.
