WELCOME FROMTHECIPP KENPULLARFCIPP CIPP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Ken opened the CIPP’s 2020 Annual Conference and Exhibition thanking delegates on behalf of himself, the CIPP board and wider team for taking the time to attend the event. He followed by extending thanks to the exhibitors and sponsors. Starting with conference headline sponsor Workday and keynote and motivational sessions sponsor Sage. Thanks then followed for the other conference sponsors; Access People, ADP, BDO, the Canadian Payroll Association, Ceridian, Cintra, Cloudpay, Frontier Software, Intelligo, Moorepay, NEST, OneSource Virtual, Reward Strategy, Selenity Expenses, The Payroll Centre, and Western Union Business Solutions. Ken commented: “All these sponsors are excellent organisations to have in your network, whether you have a need for their services now or sometime in the future, and we are truly appreciative of their support of this event.” Ken welcomed and extended thanks to the online attendance of the CIPP’s international counterparts: the American Payroll Association, the Canadian Payroll Association, the Irish Payroll Association, and the Australian Payroll Association. Observing that “2020 has been a challenging year”, Ken added that the industry has “had to adapt quickly and professionally to changes at incredibly short-notice and implement new legislation and guidance compliantly within our organisations with little notice.”

Taking the opportunity to record his appreciation of the CIPP’s policy and advisory team for the support they have provided the profession over the last twelve months; Ken said

“Through our policy team we are continuing to represent you to clarify government’s guidance as it is issued, often at short-notice and without the advantage of advanced consultation. We have been running, and continue to run, webcasts to deliver information to the payroll community and issue factsheets to support you. The Advisory Team has supported members, receiving, quite literally, thousands of enquiries each month.” Ken provided an update of CIPP developments, such as moving some 2020 events to 2021 and involvement in apprenticeships, and noted that this year’s “National Payroll Week, despite moving to an online event, was perhaps one of the most successful yet! It seems that the world suddenly realised how important payroll professionals are – hmm, I wonder why!”

An important message Ken expressed is that the CIPP will “continue to work behind the scenes to champion the work of payroll professionals and ensure that you are recognised for the value you bring to your employers and the wider economy”.

SPONSORED BY

Ceara Metcalf, director of project management, Sage, introduced the sponsored keynote speaker.

Angela became HMRC’s deputy chief executive and second permanent secretary in August 2020. As deputy chief executive she is accountable to Parliament for the effective and efficient running of HMRC.

Angela has thirty years’ experience as an operations professional in service delivery, transformation and change in both the public and private sector.

Joining the Civil Service in 2009, she moved to HMRC in 2017 and was appointed as director general for customer services.

She leads 50,000 HMRC colleagues delivering customer service, compliance and enforcement activity across all taxes.

Angela extended thanks to those at the CIPP, especially Ken Pullar, Samantha Mann and Lora Murphy, for helping HMRC deliver at pace measures, and ideas for improvement so things worked successfully. Without partners like CIPP, HMRC would not have been able to deliver for the businesses that needed its help. Angela talked about HMRC’s responses to the pandemic, remarking how overnight the entire HMRC workforce moved to working from home; the measures put in place to support the economy; and attendees’ experiences of working with HMRC since March.

The session ended with Angela answering members’ questions delivered by Jason Davenport MCIPP MIoD, CIPP chair.

WELCOME FROMCONFERENCEHEADLINE SPONSORWORKDAY DANNYRICE UK PAYROLL PRODUCTMANAGER, WORKDAY

Danny provided insight to the pandemic’s impact on the industry, and reflected on the changes since last year, commenting however that some things – such as paying employees – have not changed.

Danny discussed the benefits of running payroll in the cloud, and how the pandemic means movement to cloud processing is accelerating. Companies that had moved to the cloud before the pandemic were able to adapt more quickly to remote working.

A trend revealed by many recent surveys is that many people now prefer or want to work from home. This is a fundamental shift.

SPONSORED BY

Ceara Metcalf, director of project management, Sage, introduced the sponsored motivational speaker.

Alison is a leadership expert, polar explorer and mountaineer who is no stranger to extreme environments. She has survived sub-zero temperatures, hurricane-force winds, sudden avalanches…and a career on Wall Street. Alison has climbed the highest peak on every continent, served as the team captain of the first American Women’s Everest Expedition, and skied across the Arctic Circle to the geographic North Pole.

She delivers resounding leadership messages that transcend her extreme climbing expeditions, drawing relevant authentic parallels between mountaineering and business.

Alison’s session was downright inspirational, highly motivational, utterly relevant, full of messaging, and fun. There were many wonderful and memorable images, including one of Everest casting a vast triangular shadow.

Unforgettable remarks and quotes in Alison’s session include: “Sometimes you look up at a mountain and think ‘I can’t!’ – and then you climb anyway”, and “Backing up is not the same as backing down.”

THE CIPP ANNUAL EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2020

In the early evening of Thursday 15 October 2020, the Chartered Institute held its first ever online Awards ceremony.

The nominations we have received show true professionalism and excellence within the sector in what can only be described as one of our most challenging years.

The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards are the industry’s most prestigious awards for individuals and organisations that have had a positive impact on the payroll, pension and reward professions over the last twelve months. As usual, the Institute recognised all the hard work of individuals, teams and organisations that were nominated this year. Ken Pullar, CIPP chief executive officer, and Vickie Graham, CIPP business development director, conducted the proceedings, and welcomed everyone for joining the event. Ken commented that “the pressure that payroll professionals have been under this year, particularly those delivering services to clients, has been unprecedented.” The CIPP has been overwhelmed by the number of nominees, especially considering how busy CIPP members and payroll professionals have been over the last twelve months. Thank you for taking the time to nominate yourselves, teams, colleagues and organisations to support the CIPP in raising the profile of payroll and recognising the profession. Vickie observed that “Mental health and wellbeing have been extremely topical during the course of the year, and it has been amazing to see how payroll has come together as a community to support each other. I have seen support like never before, with LinkedIn, online forums and WhatsApp being used to provide support, or even just a forum to offload over the last seven months – and long may those communities continue.”

Ken Pullar FCIPP, CIPP chief executive officer

On behalf of the CIPP, Ken and Vickie extended thanks to the judges and to the event sponsors.

“Firstly, thank you to the judges who thought I was worth giving the award to – it really was not expected. I started at Civica two years ago as a university drop-out who decided to completely change my career, so I walked into payroll with no experience at all. The last two years has been an incredible journey, I have learnt more than I could have imagined and been pushed, encouraged and trusted by Civica and the team I work with to get me where I am today. It really feels like a team award. I love my job and I am so excited for the future. Winning this award really does mean so much, it’s showed how hard work and determination does pay off.”

“We are absolutely delighted to have been highly commended. Kingdom’s payroll team only came into being a little over a year ago and our aim was to make our customers’ experience better, make our processes more efficient and improve the governance around our payroll systems. The team have absolutely delivered on all of that, while working towards and receiving their own individual payroll qualifications. Receiving such an accolade amongst such stiff competition from the other finalists feels every bit as good as a win for us!”

PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD 2020 This award recognises the work involved in implementing a successful project, and can be won by either a project team responsible for the project, or a project manager/consultant who led the change.

Announced by: Neil Hollister, The Payroll Centre

There were many positive comments from the judges, but one which stands out is: “Companies will often stay with a provider or software supplier, even if they are not happy, due to the fear of change and risks associated with moving software. So, to see one of the largest projects to ever be completed with such great success, should encourage others to not put up with their current arrangements, as change is possible if managed correctly. Payroll at its best!”.

AWARDED TO: LEGAL AND GENERAL, OCE PAYMENTS WORK STREAM

“All involved in the OCE project are absolutely delighted to receive this award: our internal and external team members as well as those within third parties we work with – our hard work is always rewarded by the knowledge that we are doing a great job for our customers. The CIPP award and the professional recognition this brings definitely adds an acknowledgement of all of the success, commitment and hard work involved in this project, which is one of the largest in the industry. The team are already referring to themselves as ‘award-winning’.”

SPECIALAWARD INRECOGNITIONOF SERVICES TO PAYROLL 2020 has been a challenging year for us all and payroll professionals have been recognised as key workers in light of the work they have to undertake in implementing the government’s job retention scheme. HM Revenue & Customs have had to demonstrate innovative thinking, speed of action, design, implementation and issue of the scheme, followed by the job support scheme, often with little notice or time to consult. However, HMRC has worked closely with the CIPP and other key stakeholders to issue and update regular guidance to ensure that payroll professionals were equipped with as much detail and information as possible, and often adapted and changed these based on real life scenarios and feedback provided.

THIS SPECIAL AWARD IN RECOGNITION OF SERVICES TO PAYROLL, IS PRESENTED TO HMRC.

“I am delighted that HMRC has won the Special Award at the CIPP conference. It’s a tribute to the hard work of HMRC colleagues during Covid-19 and a proud moment for us all. I very much look forward to working further with CIPP as we go forward to better times.”
