Welcome to our branch

We aim to promote and champion the objectives of CIPD, Championing Better Work and Working Lives, by connecting all our members with a network of support, resources and best practices. 

We provide our members, from students to Fellows, with a range of exciting generalist and specialist HR&D topics, including sharing latest research and trends. Attending our events gives you regular opportunities to boost your personal development, discover new areas of specialisation and explore new thinking, whilst networking with fellow people professionals.

We are an active branch, supported by a diverse committee with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and invite you to get involved and look forward to seeing you at one of the branch events.

Independents and freelancers

Led by Joy Collison, Chartered FCIPD, our Independents and Freelancers group has been established since 2019 and we have experience and knowledge not limited to but including the world of generalist HR, L&D, strategic planning, employee relations, wellbeing and business psychology.

We meet monthly to discuss, explore and share knowledge across a broad range of subjects, such as mental health, redundancy and current HR challenges. We are fortunate to have a group of experts willing to facilitate sessions in their areas of expertise, and we welcome any independent Leicestershire-based people practitioners to our group.
