Recap: BMA HR Leadership Conference Manila

I just returned from the Business Maker Academy’s annual HR Leadership Conference in Manila, Philippines. It was a full house with over 250 HR practitioners from all industries there to learn more about taking their HR skills to the next level.

I was asked to speak about how PayrollHero attracts talent, how we retain talent, some of our more innovative programs and of course show them how PayrollHero’s Philippine payroll software platform works.  Here is a quick overview of what I discussed:

  • PayrollHero’s hiring page is unique and breaks down not only the job descriptions, but how we work, our rhythms, required reading, core values and much more.
  • Our Herman Miller chairs, dual monitors, Apple computers, etc. and why giving your team the best you can afford is worth it.
  • We talked about travel, how our team moves around and why having a passport is a key items all employees at PayrollHero need.
  • Learning – a big topic in HR, at PayrollHero we invest heavily in our teams education. From mentors, to conferences to round tables.
  • Our Adventure Engineering program and some examples of how it attracts stellar teammates.

And of course, the last bit of the session was about PayrollHero and how our time, attendance, scheduling, HRIS, business intelligence and Philippine payroll software works.

Here are a couple pictures from the event;

Why You Should Hang Out With Like Minded Individuals

Some of our team members have started monthly round tables with people from other companies in similar roles. Our Chief Architect, Piotr Banasik is in a CTO Round Table and Brandon Strong is in a Growth Hackers Round Table. The idea is to get people in similar roles together to discuss what is working in their businesses, what is not, share experiences and learn new things together.

Piotr Banasik, Chief Architect at PayrollHero met with his CTO Round Table today for their initial meeting. The group so far includes Eran Kimhi, Director of Operations at Spot SolutionsDirk Reiubold, Engineer at WorkatPlay and Alon Sabi, CTO at FunctionPointAaron Hilton, CTO at Conquer MobileCarl Schmidt, CTO at UnbounceDavid Hobbs, CTO at Two Tall Totems and Numan Sachwani, CTO at 7Geese.

I enjoy sitting down once a month with other technology leaders that are outside of my company so that I can learn from their experiences and share things I’m working it. Having a fresh, outside perspective can be super helpful” – Piotr Banasik, PayrollHero
