Our purpose and vision
Championing better work and working lives - because we believe work can and should be a force for good that benefits everyone
Who we are
We're a registered charity with a highly respected Royal Charter: we exist to make sure work benefits everyone
Our Royal Charter
The CIPD is incorporated under Royal Charter and the only professional body in the world that can confer individual Chartered status on HR and L&D professionals
Our history
The world of work has changed considerably since we were first founded more than a hundred years ago, and so has the role of HR and L&D.
Our governance
Our governance procedures ensure that the charitable purpose and powers prescribed by our Charter and Bye-laws are underpinned by appropriate compliance.
