PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Continuing professional development

It is essential that all payroll, pension and reward professionals are kept up to date with the continuous changes in the industry

Frequently asked questions Continuing professional development (CPD) is a combination of approaches, ideas and techniques and is invaluable in helping all professionals manage their own learning and development. This is especially true for those working in payroll, pensions and reward where keeping up to date with the continuous changes in the industry is essential. Logging your CPD allows you to keep track of learning and development that you have completed, and to tailor your future developments based on you and your organisation’s goals. Below are some of the frequently asked questions we receive regarding CPD to help you learn and grow as a payroll, pensions or reward professional. Who needs to complete CPD? Firstly, if you are an associate, full or fellow member with the CIPP then you are expected to log at least one CPD activity per subscription year but there is no minimum points total. Chartered members on the other hand are required to achieve at least 40 CPD points each subscription year to be able to renew again at the Chartered level. What counts towards my CPD? CPD is any form of learning or development that benefits you in your

professional environment and career, such as: ● calls into the CIPP’s Advisory Service ● on-the-job learning ● attending national forums ● any form of networking where you may have learned something new ● attending training courses and/or events. CPD is demonstrating that you have maintained and developed your knowledge and skill set. You demonstrate this by setting learning objectives and development goals, whatever stage of your career you are at. Why is CPD important? Continuing professional development is an important aspect of your career as it demonstrates to yourself and your organisation that you are developing as an individual and as an employee, to improve and learn. Logging your CPD will help you keep track of the learning and development that you complete, as well as planning for the future based on you, your team, and your organisation’s goals and strategies.
