Where does time go? We’re already on the countdown to Christmas, planning the tight December deadlines and now, the nights have really drawn in. It’s at this time of year especially that employees and organisations are very focussed on the work of the payroll team and ensuring payments are made
accurately and on time. Given the current economic climate, it’s more important than ever this year. Payroll systems hold lots of valuable data which can help finance with planning budgets and human resource teams with sickness analysis. There’s also lots of output reports and data that feed other areas of the organisation, many of which can help drive business strategies. It’s important that the reports are fit for purpose and meet the needs of the organisation. They should be regularly reviewed, as often reports are unused and other workaround processes must be implemented as a result. Remember, the CIPP is here to help, whether that be through advice and guidance or training courses and qualifications. Pease get in touch with us to discuss how we can help.

message Although this issue will reach your doors in November, at the time of writing my message, I have just returned from the South African Payroll Association (SAPA) conference in Johannesburg. Forming relationships and working together for the benefit of both parties is incredibly rewarding. Listening to the
challenges payroll professionals in South Africa face made me realise how payroll is so connected to the prosperity of the country of origin in collecting the correct taxes and securities due. It also showed that, even across borders, so many challenges are consistent and the same. I also have the pleasure of representing the Institute over in Australia during November and am delighted to be sharing the stage with Clare Warrington, our chair, to bring to life the superhero roles of payroll, pension and reward professionals. It was a pleasure to represent the CIPP as the eminent body for payroll professionals in the UK. The importance of our mission statement to lead with qualifications and training for the benefit of payroll and pensions professionals really resonated with me. That is why I would like to appeal to you, the membership, to let me know if there’s anything you think should be added in terms of specialist interest groups, or key elements of working practice that we might better represent. Please get in touch with me regarding your suggestions. This issue is all about harnessing the data available within payroll. Years ago, I worked with a chief data scientist, and I thought what a great job title. He had worked with many large retailers and could predict sales of products via data analysis. I have also heard stories told by the founder of Just Eat, who recruited more than 50 data analysts to help determine what would be ordered at any given date and time, to best predict buying patterns within the takeaway industry. The outcomes from data analysis have great benefits to business, as would the analysis of payroll data and predictive trends. These could have a significant impact on the decisions made within a business, if analysed fully. I do hope you enjoy the content shared in this issue.
