IPASS to Host October Webinar on Strategic Influence for Payroll Professionals

17th October 2025
Est. Reading: 2 minutes

The Irish Payroll Association (IPASS) has announced the next instalment in its Wages Wisdom Payroll Series: “Elevate Your Influence: Driving Impact in Payroll.” Scheduled for Friday, 31st October, this 45-minute webinar addresses a critical challenge faced by payroll professionals: securing a strategic voice in organisational decision-making.

A common refrain in the industry is that "Payroll needs a voice, a seat at the table." This session moves beyond the slogan to provide actionable strategies for professionals to shape outcomes and drive collaboration, even without formal authority over key decisions.

Attendees will gain valuable insights on how to elevate their leadership and ensure they are involved and heard when critical business choices are made. The webinar will cover essential topics, including:

  • The psychology of influence: Mastering the art of framing, timing, and building trust.

  • Navigating cross-functional dynamics: Learning to lead and collaborate effectively without a direct reporting line.

  • Communicating with impact: Techniques to shift mindsets and reprioritise business objectives.

  • Practical tips for credibility: Actionable steps to build authority and mobilise action within an organisation.

The session will be led by keynote speaker Wendy Muirhead, Founding Partner of WH People. With over 23 years of experience in Finance and HCM/Payroll, Muirhead is a seasoned leader passionate about fostering inclusive cultures. Her background includes leading teams with legal, people, and P&L responsibilities, consistently delivering triple-digit growth through strategic communication and leadership.
