Happy new year to you all; I hope you enjoyed a fantastic Christmas and new year. Did you make a new year’s resolution? Are you still sticking to it, or have you already succumbed to the temptations of what you gave up? We’re already moving through the year at a fast pace, and I find myself wondering where the time goes.

Hopefully, lighter nights are on the horizon at least. With the new year, we naturally start to think about our next challenge, so maybe a new project or even a career move. Make sure you take advantage of your membership – from using the Advisory Service to getting your next qualification or attending a training course, the CIPP has it all covered. There are also many events you can attend, from webinars to face-to-face networking opportunities, which are all designed with the aim of allowing like-minded payroll professionals to share experiences and ideas. Connecting with the payroll community, through LinkedIn and other social media platforms, is critical to ensure we stay connected and up to date as we face new changes and demands. For me, the year starts with the Annual General Meeting, so I hope to see you there and at other events throughout 2024. Remember to stay connected.

Here we are at the start of 2024, and I hope your resolutions for this year are still holding good. As part of mental well-being and good health, I’m committing to seven hours

sleep a night, regular exercise (including at least three trips to the gym each week) and getting out walking with the family over the weekends. Sefton Park, built in 1872 as a Parisian landscaped open space, is a particular spot in Liverpool that we go to for walks around the lake and we visit the Palm House. I would like to talk more about healthy eating and drinking but one step at a time, please. 😊 You may have decided, during the holiday season, to drive your career in a new direction during 2024. Or to consider the benefits of a squiggly career and learn another discipline as part of your payroll, pensions or reward career journey. Although running payrolls and / or providing pension services in-house or delivering via a service bureau are different disciplines, both still require the accurate, on time delivery of results as the mantra that we all live by as professionals. And both require additional soft skills to support development. If you’re thinking of a career change or move or you have indeed already made the move, then the team here at the CIPP is here to help you. Training, qualifications, advice and guidance are all covered, and updates provided in News Online , the BeKnowledgeable webinar series and other forums. Plus, the magazine and events / conferences are all designed to support you. The SIGs (specialist interest groups) have been established to cover specific areas of interest. If you have considered additional offerings you believe should be available as part of the membership package which aren’t currently available, then please write to me and let me have your thoughts. The membership benefit package is regularly reviewed, and I’m keen to know of any additional items you would expect to be covered as part of that. Please contact me on the email address shown below and I commit to reviewing and responding to all requests, thank you.
