A new name! On March 7, 2022, the Canadian Payroll Association announced that it is now known as the National Payroll Institute.According to the Institute, this change is the result of 40 years of success and how the payroll profession is viewed today.“Not long ago, payroll was looked at as an administrative task that anyone could do,” explains Peter Tzanetakis, President of the National Payroll Institute. “Today, it's a career that requires training and investment. It is understood that payroll needs to be treated with professionalism and that payroll is at the heart of business. As the National Payroll Institute, we are better positioned to meet the evolving needs of the profession and businesses across Canada.”More than just a name change, the rebrand comes with a promise: to continue innovating through investments in new services, resources, education, research and government advocacy initiatives throughout 2022 and beyond.To learn more about the National Payroll Institute, visit www.payroll.ca How to access the National Payroll Institute webinars and seminars The National Payroll Institute seminars and webinars are available on their website or by clicking the link below.

Author: Taia Northrup , 2026 Social Media Committee Volunteer Building Safer Workplaces Every April 28th, World Day for Safety and Health at Work serves as an important reminder that workplace safety isn’t just a policy, it is a commitment to people. While procedures, protocols, and compliance requirements are essential, the true foundation of a safe workplace lies in a culture where employees feel valued, heard, and protected. In today’s evolving environment, safety goes beyond hard hats and hazard signs. It includes psychological safety, inclusive practices, and the ability for employees to speak up without fear. As organizations continue to adapt in a tech driven world, the role of Human Resources in shaping and sustaining this culture has never been more critical. Traditionally, workplace safety has been associated with physical risk prevention. While this is still vital, modern organizations are expanding their focus to include mental health, preventing burnout, and overall well-being. Which Leads to the Culture of Psychological Safety A truly safe workplace is one where employees feel comfortable sharing ideas, raising concerns, and admitting mistakes without fear. Psychological safety is essential for innovation, collaboration, and overall organizational success. Safety doesn’t always require large scale initiatives… Often it is small, consistent actions that make the biggest difference, these include: Checking in with employees regularly Offering training and refreshers Celebrating safe practices and milestones Creating opportunities for feedback As we recognize World Day for Safety and Health at Work, it is an opportunity to reflect on how we can continue to build safer, healthier workplaces. By prioritizing both physical and psychological well-being, organizations can create environments where employees thrive. At its core, safety is about people. When we lead with empathy, listen with intention, and act with purpose, we don’t just meet safety standards, we exceed them!
