Why did I decide on a career in payroll and/or HR? The short answer is that it appeals to my interests and provides a foundation where I can apply my skills and gain fulfillment by a sense of contributing to society in general.
However, HR is a field in which, “It depends.” Thus, it’s more than that simple response.
For me, it was about focusing on career areas of greater interest within the business realm. I find that HR has a wide assortment of moving parts where I can hone my skills, yet there’s room for continual growth. Math has always been an activity I enjoy. Not to mention, I gravitate toward structure and compliance. Understanding HR only brings a greater understanding of the people-business balance. In the end, payroll solidifies this union.
