What the CIPD are doing
Caring for people’s mental health is a big responsibility and one that we take very seriously at the CIPD. Last year, we highlighted this by signing up to the Mental Health at Work Commitment. No-one could predict the following 12 months would be for everyone's mental health, and how vital the work we’d deliver would be to supporting our people. You can read the latest blog from Brad Taylor, Director of People and OD at the CIPD on what we’re doing within each of the standards to meet our commitment at the CIPD.
