CIPD is the professional body for experts in people at work, championing better work and working lives by setting professional standards for HR and people development, as well as driving positive change in the world of work. We set professional standards and support our members to make a real impact on the work and working lives of the people and organisations they work with. Through our independent research and insights, we influence policy and practice to ensure that work benefits everyone – making us a trusted adviser to individuals, employers, media and policy makers.
