Employee Spotlight: Meet Omar

Ashley DeGroot | February 4, 2022

We interviewed one of our product management team leads of Pay and Core HR, Omar, to learn more about his Paycom journey.

Describe what you do.

As a Product team lead, we provide our clients with innovative solutions to manage their workforces efficiently by researching new trends, automating processes, staying compliant with new mandates and attending to our clients’ needs.

What is your favorite thing about being in Product?

My favorite thing is every member of my team continues to challenge each other for a better solution when we work on a new feature. That way we don’t fall for the status quo of accepting half solutions.

What advice would you give a new employee for being successful at Paycom?

Be proactive, ask questions and don’t be afraid to bring change to your role, team or department. I’ve seen how positive changes happen with just simple suggestions.

What’s the one word you would choose to describe Paycom, and why?

Leader. The company strives to be the first in innovating new ways of handling complex processes in a simple manner.

What is your greatest accomplishment at Paycom?

Recently, I was given the opportunity to work on a new product from research to release, and being able to collaborate with different departments and individuals — as well having great success with the product — helped me learn and grow as a person.

What makes you proud to work at Paycom?

I get to do what I love every day. There is no idea held back from being implemented if it is the right path to follow.

What are some of your favorite hobbies outside of work?

I am a sports fan and, in particular, a fan of the soccer team Manchester United. I love following all aspects of the game.

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

Shish kebabs are my go-to, but if they’re not available, then burgers for sure.
