Are you new to payroll or use a payroll system and need to know how it works to be able to answer employee questions?
Membership insight
● “It is often part of the business that is paid little attention to by management but is so important a function that it should be regulated as the business will have to pay the cost if it goes wrong.” ● “As payroll is a very important part of any business only the best should be employed for such an exacting job.” Networking is important When it comes to our SIGs and our Linkedin community members forum on social networking, then it is important to note that people wanting to join these groups are pre-vetted by the CIPP before being allowed to join. We understand that being sold to on forums where people want to open-up and work through challenges as a professional community, is not good etiquette. So, we will always keep a watchful eye on threads to make sure that the Institute keeps a professional standard for the peace of mind of members. In reality, it is a close-knit community and we find that it is self-policing to a certain point, so any bad practice can be bought to our attention. Keeping up with change As we evolve to meet the demands of the payroll community, it is important we invest
in the latest forms of technology and keep up with the way people want to learn or consume information. For this reason, there is a big push on digital assets based on feedback from the respondents. We have already enhanced our online resource library as a result, so that members can access a whole wealth of information efficiently. Closing observations A huge thank you to all those who took the time to complete the membership questionnaire as we constantly review the results throughout the year to make sure that we are acting on your suggestions. I hope you’ll continue to support this yearly survey for the direct benefit for you and your fellow members. If you know someone who is working in and around the subject of payroll or indeed is considering entering a career then please encourage them to become a member. Supporting your profession directly helps you as a member, but is also helping aspiring payroll professionals of the future. As a growing community, our members are at the heart of everything we do and the CIPP can invest in the future of educating, training and supporting its members. So, please keep giving us feedback throughout the year, as we listen to every request. n
