Well, I can’t quite believe I’m writing this, but welcome to the final issue of Professional magazine for 2022. What an absolute whirlwind of a year it’s been. Payroll professionals have well and truly been kept on their toes, with an array of changes to National Insurance and the not so mini ‘mini-budget’, which announced huge

changes to policies, many of which were scrapped within just a few weeks. But, as always, the industry has handled the turbulence with aplomb. I’m super excited about this issue, as the theme is ‘ the member takeover ’. I’ve reached out to you guys, our members, to take content directly from you and to shape this entire issue. After all, this magazine is one of your membership benefits, and I want to include your voices as much as possible. Look out for the ‘member takeover’ area of the magazine, to read about the new payroll anthem everyone is singing (page 22), how to keep up with ever-changing legislation (page 32) and the top three soft skills all payroll professionals should possess (page 36). There’s even discussion of a tool you can use to manage change in the payroll department, on page 28. More widely, the policy and research team has tried to become more visible and approachable over recent months. To build on this strategy, our hot topic this month focuses on all the work the policy team carries out on behalf of CIPP members and the wider payroll profession. Be sure to flick to page 54 to read all about it. All that’s left to say is, merry Christmas and a happy new year. I personally can’t wait for another jam-packed year for payroll professionals in 2023 and beyond, and Professional magazine will be here to keep you all up to date.
