This issue features payroll and HR technology. We are so honored to have Daphne Large, CEO of Data Facts, on our February cover! Data Facts is a charter sponsor of HR Professionals Magazine, and I cannot think of a more deserving person to honor in this issue. Daphne got her start in the consumer reporting industry at the young age of 16 at Equifax Services. She launched Data Facts in 1989 starting off providing consumer information to mortgage lenders assisting them in closing mortgage loans. In 1991 Data Facts diversified into the background screening industry. Daphne is an ardent admirer of Winston Churchill and believes in his words, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Data Facts continues to exemplify the best of HR technology with their service to HR professionals. Read all about Daphne on Page 5.

We also honor DailyPay in this issue for their innovative advances in how we pay our employees. They have transformed the payroll industry by paying employees daily rather than weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly as most companies do. Their technology enables employers to keep employees longer. The average tenure of employees who use DailyPay increased 27% over those non-DailyPay users. That’s 39 additional days on the job! Scan the QR Code on our back cover to learn more! Be sure to catch their article on Page 18!
