Change Is Inevitable: Are You Going Through Change?

Change is inevitable.

I learnt this the hard way. 1 year ago, I decided to resign from my job. I started a digital marketing gig and it grew from being a gig to sustaining me well.

It went well to a point got a deal with a tv station. Life was good. Well, until it wasn't.

Due to a family emergency, I had to forego the tv deal. I was now jobless, with bills, and mounting pressure.

My slogan for the past year was " I cannot go back to employment ". Here I was, wondering what to do. Employment was what came to my mind.

2 agonizing weeks later, I finally joined the corporate world.

I am now working for WorkPay, an online software company that provides HRM, Payroll, Payments and Time&Attendance solutions for employers to better manage their employees.

I immediately felt the change:

1. From self employment to employment

2. From working with a small team to working with a large team

3. From no morning and evening traffic, to parking lot like traffic😂

But change is inevitable and necessary for growth.

Organizations go through change too. Look at how the covid-19 pandemic changed the working environment. We are now preferring virtual meetings to physical ones.

We save on travel time, travel costs and still get the job done.

As much as this change was uncomfortable for most, it is now embraced.

I join WorkPay as part of their Business Development team, so you will probably be seeing more of me, telling you to join WorkPay as a client😀. I will tell you what they do in a bit, but first, let me mention that your attitude during a change will determine how the change shapes you or your organization.

Now, back to WorkPay. WorkPay gives you a software that:

1. Lets you run your payroll ( takes into account all your employee deductions, allowances, benefits). It also calculates your taxes for you ( PAYE,NSSF,NHIF,NITA,HELB)

2. Let's you manage your employee data in one place

3. Let's you handle your expenses like a pro. I mean, pay suppliers and manage employee expenses.

4. Manage your employee leaves. Bye bye paperwork. ( employees can even do it themselves. Your work is to review, approve or disapprove).

5. Pay your employees instantly. Yes, instantly. If an employee banks in a different bank, they receive their payments instantly.

6. Pay your statutory. No more bank queues. Pay directly from the software.

7. Get Time and Attendance functions. If you have field employees, they clock in, WorkPay app picks up their GPS and you confirm whether the employee has reported to their work station or not. Works very well for employees working in shift basis.

I cannot finish the benefits in this post alone, so I will give you the opportunity to reach out to me via 0716352252.

Now that I have joined WorkPay, I will expand my blog posts to cover HRM, Payroll and all related topics on top of teaching you how you can use digital marketing for your business.

So look out for more dynamic topics around digital marketing, HRM, Payroll and tools your business needs to thrive in these areas.

Thank you for your support and remember to look at change in a positive light.

Do share this with your connections. Thank you,

Sophia Karanja.
