For CIPD members at Chartered Member level or above, this network is for those with strategic responsibility for people and organisational policy.
It provides a trusted space to share insights, reflect on challenges, and strengthen leadership resilience. Members join an active online community on Mighty and benefit from a year-round programme of regional and national events, both in person and online.
Typical roles include Head of HR, Senior HR Business Partner, or People Lead – often reporting to the board or executive level and shaping people strategy and organisational culture.
By joining, you’ll connect with peers in similar roles, gain fresh perspectives, and contribute to CIPD’s research and policy agenda – helping shape the future of the people profession.
Our People Consultants Network is a dedicated space for CIPD members working independently or within consultancy firms, supporting a variety of client organisations.
Designed for people professionals who aren’t embedded in a single employer, this network brings together consultants delivering strategic or operational expertise across multiple clients. Whether you specialise in OD&D, EDI, reward, wellbeing, employee relations or other areas, this is your community to connect, collaborate and share insight.
Members benefit from opportunities to exchange experiences, explore client challenges, and build trusted professional relationships nationally. The network also provides a platform to contribute to CIPD’s research and policy work, ensuring the voice of consultants helps shape the future of the profession.
If your work supports organisations on a flexible, project-based or advisory basis, joining this network gives you access to a vibrant professional community where you can grow your impact and strengthen the role of consultancy within the wider people profession.
This national community is for CIPD members with a passion for organisation development & design (OD&D), bringing together HR professionals and specialists at every stage of their career.
It provides a dedicated space to connect with peers across the UK, share insights, and explore solutions to common OD&D challenges. Whether you work internally or in a consultancy role, the network is for those who influence how organisations develop, adapt, and thrive in a changing world.
Members gain access to a trusted network where best practice is shared, emerging trends are discussed, and the evolving nature of OD&D is explored. There are also opportunities to contribute to CIPD research and policy development, ensuring members play a part in shaping the future of practice across the profession.
