My CIPP
Getting to know…
Newly elected CIPP board director ClareWarringtonMSc FCIPPdip AFHEA reveals her industry history, skills, pleasures and ambitions
I started in payroll at age sixteen working in the Youth Training Scheme for a large retail company. I worked my way up to managing the payroll, pension and human resources departments. After fourteen years I decided to get some experience in the public sector and moved to the National Health Service (NHS) as a payroll manager, and then went on to manage a large shared service centre for NHS customers. I now work at Gist an international logistics company heading up eight payrolls in the UK and Republic of Ireland. I have a very busy life always on the go but when I do get some free-time I love to go to the gym which helps me offset the busy social life I have, be that with family and friends or my wider payroll family. I’ve been a member of the CIPP for over nineteen years and began studying the Payroll Diploma in 2000. Later in 2011, I gained the MSc in Payroll and Business
Management. I’m a tutor for the Institute, teaching students on the Payroll Foundation Degree for more than seven years, and I regularly attend the CIPP’s annual conference and other CIPP events throughout the year. My new role as a CIPP board director means I can be part of a team to drive the payroll profession forward and ensure we are at the forefront of an ever-changing payroll world. It’s an honour to be able to represent my profession on the board. My passion for payroll and work-based learning is evident when I am teaching students or advising stakeholders, so this is a fantastic opportunity for me to be part of a brilliant team. I am honoured to have been voted in by our members and thank them for giving me this opportunity. It is a dream role to be part of a team at the rock face of payroll, helping change and shape the future. Looking ahead, I see many challenges
in 2020 and the possibility of changes to legislation in the payroll once Brexit has completed. I would like to focus on my induction to this new role and getting a better understanding of the challenges we face. To contribute to the Institute’s future strategy, I bring over thirty years of knowledge in payroll in both private and public sectors, and have experience with in-house, shared services and bureau payrolls. Furthermore, my experience as a tutor has given me the foundations of understanding some of the key strategies for CIPP by being part of the core delivery of training. The future for payroll, pensions and reward will focus on change, whether that is in technology, legislation or continuous improvement. Change brings challenges and as a profession we need to be ready to meet them. I am really focussed and looking forward to these challenges. n
