Description
All CIPD students must also demonstrate an understanding of, and commitment to, CPD. In addition, those wishing to become Members of the Institute must also demonstrate a similar commitment to CPD. This book will provide detailed practical guidance and a theoretical overview to both groups.
The second edition increases the focus on:
