Many SMEs today have lean teams, heaps of work, and folks wearing many hats. And running a business is more complex than ever from an operational and regulatory perspective. When every employee is a critical resource, what happens if someone suddenly falls ill or just decides not to show up one day?

Business continuity planning isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s critical for SMEs. Put away the emergency procedures binder. Business continuity planning has evolved and is now about building dynamic, resilient systems that flex and adapt in real time.

Join Lou Phillips, Partnerships Manager at Employment Hero, in conversation with Russell Webb, Payroll Specialist at Phase 3, as they unpack what it really takes to future-proof your payroll and people operations in 2025 and beyond. Together, they’ll explore how integrated HR and payroll systems can reduce risk, increase visibility, and help your workforce thrive - whatever comes next.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• What modern continuity looks like for HR and payroll teams
• How to build resilience through automation, agility, and compliance
• Why an end-to-end platform is essential for navigating disruption at scale

Whether you’re scaling globally, modernising legacy systems, or rethinking your people tech stack, this session will leave you with fresh thinking and actionable strategies you can bring back to your business.
