Championing better work and working lives - because we believe work can and should be a force for good that benefits everyone
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
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 procedures ensure that the charitable purpose and powers prescribed by our Charter and Bye-laws are underpinned by appropriate compliance.
