Welcome to another inspiring episode! Melanie and Graham had the pleasure to interview Janet Grossett in this session of Women in Payroll. Janet is the Compliance at the National Payroll Institute of Canada. Like so many Payroll Leaders we have interviewed, Janet fell into payroll by happenstance after being asked by her accountant to run payroll whilst they were on vacation.  And from that moment on Janet hasn't looked back, she loves working in the Payroll Industry and chose it as a career. 

We learn about Janet's career path and explore the story of the great influence and mentor who had a great impact on the way she charted that path. Janet discusses the effects of the pandemic and what impact it had on her team. She shares that being supportive and flexible and encouraging her team to go from good to great was key to surviving and thriving in such manic and high pressurised times.
