    Remote Work Takes Big Step Forward with John Lee

    On this episode, Pete and Julie welcome show alumni, global mobility and remote work compliance expert John Lee, Co-Founder and CEO of Work from Anywhere, to unpack what may be the most consequential compliance shift for international remote work in more than a decade.  John joins the show to break down the recent OECD’s (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) guidance on cross-border remote working and permanent establishment, and why it creates much-needed clarity for employers and employees.  John explains why the new OECD guidance is so impactful, how it could remove one of the biggest barriers to work-from-anywhere programs, and why tax, HR, payroll, and mobility teams now have a practical framework rather than guesswork. The conversation also explores what’s still missing, what’s coming next, and how companies should prepare for the next phase of global mobility, talent management, and compliance.

  2. The PR Reset Redefining HR Tech Brands

    The PR Reset Redefining HR Tech Brands

    On this episode of HR & Payroll 2.0, Pete and Julie step into the evolving world of public relations, brand storytelling, and answer-engine optimization with Kate “Katie” Achille, co-host of Up Next at Work and partner at Devon PR.  Together, they explore how PR (public relations) has shifted from traditional media and press releases to a strategic growth engine that now shapes search visibility, AI-powered discovery (AEO), and generative engine optimization (GEO) across the HR technology marketplace.   Katie breaks down why messaging matters more than ever, how companies can differentiate in an overcrowded HR tech, recruiting, and payroll ecosystem, and why the firms winning mindshare aren’t the loudest - they’re the ones who clearly articulate what they do, who they serve, and how they solve real problems. She shares practical insights on leveraging analysts, navigating buzzwords, aligning brand and product narratives, and building credibility in a market where AI is rewriting the rules of communication.
