Mentoring Women in Global Payroll Leadership

In this episode of PayTalk, we're joined by Carolyn Hayden-Garner, Director of Finance at Tesla, who brings 33 years of payroll leadership experience managing operations for over 140,000 employees worldwide. In honor of International Women's Day, Carolyn discusses creating inclusive environments and mentoring the next generation of payroll professionals, with a special focus on supporting women's advancement in leadership roles. We explore the barriers women face in senior payroll positions, the importance of sponsorship beyond traditional mentoring, and strategies for building confidence and visibility.
