An inclusive approach to recruitment and selection
See how we're making the CIPD an attractive, accessible place to work for people from a wide range of backgrounds
Working with us
Our success relies on the expertise and commitment of a wide range of staff, volunteers and associates
Our people
A wide range of experts play their part in helping the CIPD to champion better work and working lives.
We undertake a wide range of activities to help people professionals to be the experts on people, work and change. As a result, our employees have diverse skills – from the research and policy advisers who develop our thinking, to the people in our contact centre who give our members and customers a great experience.
We have 316 employees in our offices in the UK, Ireland, Singapore and Dubai. Supporting this core workforce are 2,850 volunteers and associates. This includes members who act as the face of the CIPD at a local branch level, as well as those involved in our community investment initiatives. It also encompasses people who help us consider alleged breaches of our Code of Professional Conduct.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion
To achieve our ambitions, we need a diverse workforce with diverse skills and perspectives.
We regularly review the ways in which we can make the CIPD an attractive and accessible place to work for people from all backgrounds. The goal? To create a productive environment in which people feel valued, talents are utilised, and both overarching organisational and personal objectives are met.

Stonewall Global Diversity Champion
The CIPD is a member of Stonewall’s Global Diversity Champions programme, working together to ensure that we are an LGBT+ inclusive employer and membership organisation across our UK and International communities.

Stonewall and the CIPD share the vision that by embedding inclusive values, organisations can drive higher levels of wellbeing, motivation, satisfaction and productivity. Our ambition is to ensure that all of our staff and volunteers feel confident and comfortable in bringing their whole selves to work - because people perform better when they can be themselves.
