We are the voice, the benchmark and the partner for experts in people, work and change
Whether you work in human resources, learning and development, organisation design, or any other area of the people profession, we’re your professional body. We set the standards, build capabilities, and connect our global community of HR, L&D, OD and all people professionals. We are your learning and career partner. And, together, we are a leading voice and an active force for good work that creates value for everyone. Here’s how we support you, our profession and our community.
We understand that championing better work and working lives is a big responsibility. And you need a strong career partner to support and champion you. We promise to you, and the profession, that:
"The partnership with the CIPD means we’ll share better ways of working. We’ll have access to the right tools, the latest legal advice and a wider range of training and qualifications. I’ll be able to develop within my role, learn about other aspects of HR, and network with colleagues across the NHS."
How we help you be your best
Our profession is at the heart of business decision-making. We are the experts in people, work and change. Here’s how we help you build your knowledge, maintain your expertise and achieve the highest standards of practice.
Your starting point for all our practical, evidence-based resources
CIPD partners with researchers to strengthen evidence-based practice. One example was the Hub, which brought together leading researchers from 8 UK universities alongside the CIPD, to develop practical tips and tools to help businesses take advantage of the latest insights and expertise.
