February 2024 HR, payroll and people tech movers & shakers

Welcome to February and the second edition of our HR, payroll, and people tech movers and shakers round up for the year!

While the weather outside may be cold and damp, the HR, payroll, and people tech space is anything but stagnant. Despite a slower news month overall, the industry witnessed exciting partnerships and acquisitions that grabbed headlines. As we look forward to spring, anticipation builds for who will set new industry standards.
