Shaping the agenda

Our purpose is to champion better work and working lives by improving practices in people and organisation development, for the benefit of individuals, businesses, economies and society. And our research plays a critical role – providing the content and credibility for us to drive practice, raise standards and offer advice, guidance and practical support to the profession. Our research also informs our advocacy and engagement with governments and other opinion-formers on behalf of the profession we represent.

To increase our impact, in service of our purpose, our research agenda is focusing

around our model for the future of HR. The model distils the role of HR into four core areas: helping the business understand the changing real-world context in which we operate; applying a real understanding of the science that shapes how the people we employ behave, learn and are motivated; working closely with other business disciplines to provide better measurement and insight into what drives value, performance and outcomes; and using all of those three things to develop practices, processes and policies that best support staff, managers and business leaders to drive value in their organisations.

Our standards for the profession

CIPD Profession MapThe standards set out in the CIPD Profession Map, developed in collaboration with HR and L&D professionals, senior business people, academics and their organisations across the world, aim to set the bar high. They determine what the best HR and L&D professionals and organisations are doing, what they know and understand, to really make a difference and drive the performance of the organisation.

Structured around the ten professional areas of HR activity, the Map focuses on the knowledge, activities and behaviours required in the profession today and in the future.

It underpins all we provide, from our qualifications and membership through to our in-house training provision.

A wide range of organisations and HR and L&D professionals are now using the Map to benchmark and build their HR capability at individual, team, function and organisation levels.

Case study Unilever and the CIPD Profession Map

Refreshing the global HR skills dictionary was a top priority for Unilever HR. They gathered external perspectives from the CIPD, other HR professional bodies, executive search companies and the RBL Institute to stimulate their thinking. Working together, the CIPD and Unilever used the Insight Strategy and Solutions element of the Map to create the dictionary. The dictionary encompasses the best of internal and external thinking and forms part of a global career portal which supports development and career discussions.

We initially chose the CIPD as our partner for this project as the CIPD Profession Map was the external tool which resonated most closely with us.Unilever

For you

CIPD membership - a mark of your professionalism

Professional membership of the CIPD demonstrates that you meet our rigorous standards for best practice in HR and adhere to our code of conduct. It showcases your ability to create a real impact in the workplace, and to make a difference to an organisation’s strategy and its people. It’s highly valued by the profession and employers alike.

There are three levels to CIPD professional membership and each level entitles you to use designatory letters after your name:

• Associate member (Assoc CIPD)• Chartered Member (Chartered MCIPD)• Chartered Fellow (Chartered FCIPD).

As you develop your expertise and experience, professional membership can open doors to new career opportunities. Progressing to a Chartered Fellow reinforces your credibility and status as an HR leader and strategist. That’s why an increasing number of talented HR and

L&D professionals aspire to achieve CIPD professional member status.

Professional membership can be achieved by either studying a CIPD qualification and upgrading on successful completion, or via Experience Assessment.

cipd.co.uk/membership

There are three levels of professional membership, and two routes that can take you there:

CIPD qualifications or Experience and upgrade Assessment

For your organisation

Case study

SEHA (The Abu Dhabi Health Services Company)

SEHA is a government-owned organisation responsible for 12 public hospitals and around 60 healthcare clinics. With 17,000 staff, it’s one of the largest employers in the Middle East. To support a broader ‘grow your own’ strategy regarding UAE Nationals, SEHA asked the CIPD to help them create a more strategic HR function by developing two programmes that are linked to qualifications, which are now creating the HR leaders of the future:• CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate in

Human Resources Practice• CIPD Level 3 Foundation Diploma in

Human Resources Practice.

‘The CIPD has done a really nice job of taking the core elements of the CIPD qualification but making it relevant to the Middle East. It’s become a foundation for the development of all our UAE nationals who are coming through to be developed as future HR leaders.’

Chief HR Officer - SEHA Forum Member


Experience AssessmentIf you’re looking to accredit your or your team’s HR and L&D expertise against our industry standards, without the need to study for a CIPD qualification, Experience Assessment offers you a direct route into professional membership.

It’s ideal for experienced professionals and HR leaders.

Experience Assessment benchmarks your experience and knowledge against the CIPD’s Profession Map and results in the award of Chartered or Associate membership of the CIPD. Experience Assessment involves a rigorous assessment process conducted by senior HR practitioners who really know what it takes to be successful in HR. It demonstrates ability to connect with the organisation, develop business insights and deliver HR that has a real impact.

Following the assessment, participants receive a detailed development report, which highlights the strengths of individuals or teams and provides inspiration for continuing professional development.

For more information on Experience Assessment

cipd.co.uk/ea

Experience Assessment gave us the ideal opportunity to give our staff external recognition for their HR achievements and their contribution to the business. Our HR managers are so experienced that a qualification is no longer the right option for them – accrediting their experience to gain CIPD professional membership was the obvious alternative.Head of Head Office Learning and Development, M&S
