The CIPP's Annual Excellence Awards are the longest-running, independent awards in the industry. They were established to recognise the important role that payroll and pension professionals play in the UK economy.

Take a look at this year's awards categories below:

The CIPP Spotlight Award
Aimed at anyone working in payroll, pensions and/or reward, this award will be presented to an individual who has shown themselves to be an outstanding professional and could be working at any level within the industry.

In-house payroll team of the year
Teamwork is crucial to the success of any business. Employees should all be working towards one overall goal, or mission for the organisation, otherwise the organisation will fail.

Project of the year
