We are leaders on the issues that affect people and work. We harness the insights and experiences of our HR community. We respond to consultations, we campaign and we influence legislation, often in partnership with other organisations. And we work alongside governments and policy-makers.
We do it to champion better work and working lives – to drive change that benefits people, organisations, economies and societies. Here's how we go about it.
"The people profession should be at the forefront of shaping the business response to environmental, social and governance goals."
Our Manifesto for
Good Work
We’re calling on the UK Government to create a long-term workforce strategy centred on skilled, healthy and fair work.
How we influence policy
Championing better work and working lives demands a global perspective and a local focus. We harness the insights of our 160,000 members around the world. We engage with governments and policy-makers to influence local decisions and legislation, mostly across the UK. And we share evidence and good practice across our international community.
