Nick Day is joined on The Payroll Podcast sofa by Gethin Nadin, Chief Innovation Officer at Zellis! Gethin is a guest who has joined us before on our other show, The HR L&D Podcast.

Gethin is a wellbeing expert and a frequent writer and speaker who has also published several best-selling books, including ‘A World of Good: Lessons From Around the World in Improving the Employee Experience’ and his latest book, 'A Work In Progress: Unlocking Wellbeing to Create More Sustainable and Resilient Organisations' which has only just been released!

Gethin joins Nick to discuss the research paper produced by Zellis titled “An Employer's guide to protecting financial wellbeing for the workforce”.

This report states that more than 1 in 4 Employees Struggle to Understand Payslips.  With the strategic role of payroll more pronounced than ever due to organisations understanding the close link between employee engagement, financial wellness and the payroll process, Nick had to find out more!

Incidentally, a link to the research paper is available in the show notes, so download it and read it yourself.
