Welcome to our branch

Alright Bab!

Thanks for visiting the CIPD Birmingham and Black Country branch page to find out more about us.

Together, Birmingham and the Black Country form a vibrant and diverse region with a rich industrial heritage, thriving business community and a strong network of people professionals. From the UK's second city to the proud towns and communities that make up the Black Country, our region is known for its innovation, resilience and unmistakable character.

We're a passionate and dedicated committee of volunteer people professionals committed to creating an engaging and supportive CIPD experience for our members. Through our events, networking opportunities and learning activities, we aim to bring together HR, L&D and people professionals from across the region to connect, learn and share best practice.
