CIPP update
BeConnected: National Forums THROUGHOUT FEBRUARY and March, our policy team delivered an all-important legislative update for the year ahead, after what has been a turbulent 12 months. A big thank you to everyone who attended, whether in person in Birmingham or London, or online. We had record numbers, and we hope you found it useful in preparing for a busy year ahead. Payroll Leadership Academy WE’RE VERY proud to work alongside payroll associations worldwide, and in July we’ll be supporting the Australian Payroll Association, as they deliver their Payroll Leadership Academy here in the UK. The two-day workshop will be held from 21-22 June 2023 at the University of Oxford. The training is aimed at payroll managers and leaders, and explores payroll leadership, people and teams, productivity, payroll processes / technology and presentation skills.

Provide your feedback when it matters AS A membership organisation, feedback from industry and our members is always crucial to ensure we’re delivering the correct mix of products and services, and representing you within government consultations and forums. One way we do this is through our annual Market Insight Survey , with the 2023 report currently being compiled. In response to your suggestions, we have also just launched a feedback tool on our website to allow you to share your views on any issue that’s important to you, at any point in the year. You can find this on the News Online page of our website, just below the Quick Poll – http://ow.ly/ybIX50Nlewg.
The CIPP appoints new CEO THE CIPP has announced Jason Davenport as its new chief executive officer (CEO), succeeding Ken Pullar who is retiring after seven years at the Institute. Bringing with him more than 25 years of industry experience, Jason has spent most of his career in the business process outsourcing industry, including managing the northern human resource (HR) services division during his time at CMG (now CGI). Jason worked globally for NGA Human Resources, leading payroll, pensions and HR outsourced services to the domestic and international market, and was chief operating officer for Capita HRS Division, delivering to a variety of both public and private sector organisations. He founded the payroll consultancy firm, Calendar Consulting Ltd, which was established in 2017 to support clients with their payroll performance and strategy. Jason is also a ‘Be The Business’ mentor, supporting the UK government-led initiative to drive productivity growth within the small and medium-sized enterprises market, and recently held the position of chair of the CIPP board of directors between 2019 and 2022. He was previously a non-executive director with the Institute for several years and will commence his new role from July 2023. Commenting on his appointment, Jason said: “Founded over four decades ago, the CIPP has provided training to thousands of payroll professionals. With 9,500 individuals benefitting from the CIPP’s services
across the country, working both independently as service providers and within businesses, our aim is to provide support and education to the payroll, pensions and reward industries. With the government target of achieving a trend growth rate of 2.5 per cent, it’s crucial we welcome more professionals to the industry, and play a key part in the recovery of the British economy. As I have since my first appointment at the CIPP, I’ll continue to champion the incredible work of our team and members, and I look forward to sharing their successes when I start my new role on 3 July 2023.”
