I’ve recently been involved in many communications involving trips down memory lane. This goes back to the time when at school, the desktop computer was the size of a large microwave oven and choosing computing as a subject meant learning how to write programmes. Processes were all manual with payroll using Kalamazoo sheets
and relying on the paper forms provided by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Fast forward to the current day. Nowadays, people are brought up with technology as if it’s always been around, not knowing life without it. If you need to find out what to do, everything is on Google and YouTube. We don’t have to worry about storage limits, as all data is held on the cloud, although we are concerned about cyber-attacks, with data security of the utmost importance. Payroll systems are now so sophisticated that users are not limited to one provider. Employers investigate the best options for the type and size of business, with some using one type of software for all aspects, including payroll / human resource (HR) / time and attendance (T&A). Others use different providers for specific areas. Sourcing the best T&A, learning and development, recruitment, HR, payroll and finance systems that integrate is no easy task. However, with the rapid development of cloud-based technology and connectivity, it will be interesting to see the progress in this area over the next five years.

CEO’s
message Every April, the CIPP board meet with the CIPP senior leadership to review and plan the strategic vision for the next five years. Additionally, they review progress from strategic meetings held in earlier years, where actions are identified as short,
medium and long term. This was the first time we had met face-to-face since 2019, and we had an excellent day as we set out the direction of travel for the CIPP, its members and students. Trying to predict the payroll and pensions landscape over the next few years isn’t always an easy task. However, regular input from all membership levels (including Chartered members), through the Market Insight Survey , the Future of Payroll Survey and special interest groups, as well as many other formal and informal routes, has all helped to mould the CIPP’s strategic vision. Key strategies set out in previous years, and reaffirmed at the recent review, continue to focus on these key objectives: ● growing membership and brand awareness (membership) ● leading innovation and engaging certified solutions (qualifications) ● providing knowledge and skills to practitioners (training) ● providing governance and advice to all payroll professionals (governance). The demand for training and qualifications, driven by both employees and employers, continues to be a key focus for the CIPP and its board of directors. This will ensure that all those working in these key worker positions are suitably skilled in continuing to keep the UK paid. The way we work post-pandemic will vary going forward, particularly with the increase in hybrid working. Although not every employer will go down this route, it’s a testament to payroll and pension professionals that hybrid working is even an option. Don’t forget we can, at last, celebrate our profession in person for the Annual Conference and Excellence Awards at Celtic Manor Resort, Wales on 5 and 6 October. We’re confident this will be a successful ‘in-person’ conference and look forward to seeing you there.
