We’re your local CIPD team—dedicated, connected, and working remotely across the region to support you. As the CIPD’s eyes and ears in the Midlands, we’re here to help you get the most from your membership by connecting you with other people professionals through our networks, events and local opportunities.
We collaborate closely with people professionals, employers, HR leaders, combined authorities, and policymakers to shape a better world of work—right here in the Midlands. By gathering regional insight and championing local priorities, we help make work better for everyone.
We’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s through surveys, consultations or our wider campaigns, your voice helps us drive meaningful workplace change across the region.

This network is for Midlands based people professionals in senior roles, with in-house responsibilities for strategy and management. These roles could include Head of HR, Head of L&D, Senior HR Business Partner, OD&D Manager, Assistant People Director.
Leading the people function in any organisation can be at times a lonely place to be; a tricky balancing act combining strategy with day to day management, compassion with commerciality.
Our Senior People Professionals Network has been designed to help support your personal wellbeing and provide a platform to share best practice with like-minded peers.
As a new network to the Midlands, we are asking all potential members to complete this short questionnaire so that we can ensure that everyone is operating at a similar level of seniority.
