Annual Excellence Awards
The CIPPs Annual Excellence Awards are the longest-running, independent awards in the industry. They were established to recognise the important role that payroll and pensions play in the UK economy; especially when you consider the £249 billion* paid to the government through income tax and national insurance contributions.
Congratulations to all of our 2021 award winners
NEW: Best coronavirus (Covid 19) crisis response award
The coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic has changed the way many people work and live and has had a significant impact on how payroll professionals work and keep the UK paid. From moving to working from home, implementing the ever-changing guidance on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) and losing colleagues and staff to illness, quarantine and home-schooling, the challenges faced have been unprecedented. This award recognises an individual or organisation who has successfully responded to the challenges.
