At Journey Payroll & HR, we take pride in honoring the dedication, compassion, and entrepreneurial spirit that define our team. Each quarter, we recognize those who go above and beyond in living out our values and lifting those around them. For Quarter One, we are thrilled to spotlight five incredible individuals who exemplify what it means to “Journey Up.”

Roan Obrien, Audrey Good, Julie Rossillon, Chloe Sybert, and Tom Vilot
Leadership at Journey isn’t just about results—it’s about the genuine care, empathy, and values brought to every interaction. That’s why we celebrate those who lead with heart through our quarterly Heart Award.
This quarter, Roan, Audrey, Julie, Chloe, and Tom have embodied the Journey Family values with unwavering dedication. Whether supporting colleagues or serving clients, they have consistently shown kindness, positivity, and a deep sense of connection. In a world that often feels rushed, these individuals remind us of the enduring power of compassion and community.
