Welcome to May’s issue of Professional . We’re on fast track to summer now, enjoying long hours of daytime and the sun making an appearance. Natural intake of vitamin D really makes you feel good about life. As we go into holiday season, I hope you all get the lazy summer days you deserve, and some much-needed downtime. Wellbeing is a big topic, especially for people with demanding jobs like ours, so how do we keep a healthy life and mind? And as managers, how do we ensure our teams are focussed on their own wellbeing? This issue will look at how we monitor wellbeing, ensuring our teams are happy, engaged and motivated. I hope you enjoy the articles in the magazine, and remember, the CIPP is here to help, so please get in touch or reach out at one of our upcoming events.

CEO’s message There are several mental health awareness initiatives which cover the spring. April saw Stress Awareness Month, and I encourage all of you to ensure you have balance in your life between work, family, socialising and personal health. My own health was impacted recently, and it has reminded me just how precious life is and highlighted the importance of caring for yourself, your body and your mind.

An increasingly important topic is discussed at length in this issue: wellbeing. Please don’t underestimate the importance and critical place payroll and pensions professionals have in the wellbeing of the working population. I thank each and every one of you for the conscientiousness and diligence shown to ensure gross pay, and all the associated deductions (including pension contributions and payments to providers) are completed on time and accurately. Correctly paying the working population has a direct, positive impact on their wellbeing. There are many ways payroll and pension professionals can help their client base, through providing education regarding pay, and explaining how to understand payslips and all their component parts. Financial awareness has a direct correlation with household and individual budgeting. If, as a nation, everyone was able to hold even a small amount in savings, it would have a dramatic impact on financial health overall. The above has a tangible element to it. Being able to budget and to manage a budget are such important life skills. Here at the CIPP, we’re involved in a number of schools projects. One of those involves working with the Heart of Worcestershire College and its consortium of colleges, and focusses on raising financial awareness among school leavers (those who are16-19 years old). There’s still much more to do to ensure financial literacy is taught within schools as part of the curriculum. I’d be delighted to hear of other thoughts and ideas you may have for us to drive this important initiative forward.
