Northamptonshire Branch

The HR directors’ boardroom is a special interest group convened specifically for HR directors, heads of HR or board level colleagues with strategic responsibility for their workforce.

Members of the boardroom contribute to policy making and help shape the strategic future direction of the workforce. The boardroom also provides the opportunity for networking in a relaxed and informal setting whilst hearing from great speakers who are really at the forefront of people leadership in their organisations. To join the HR directors’ boardroom please get in touch here.

‘Pass it on’ is CIPD Northamptonshire’s approach to peer-to-peer mentoring, drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of people professionals across our branch area; our motto is ‘knowledge is contagious…pass it on!’

We meet every three months, have coffee and cake, and share our experiences of hot topics in the world of work in a relaxed and informal environment. For those wanting to enter into a more formal mentoring arrangement with peers, we offer facilitated matching sessions where you can meet, chat to and explore mentoring opportunities with others. To join ‘Pass it on’ please sign up to the next event on the branch events page.

Our CIPD Northamptonshire coaching supervision group draws together coaches from around the county on a quarterly basis to reflect on their practice and share insights. The group uses a variety of supervisor led, 1-1 peer and peer group supervision techniques. The aim is to create a community of coaching practice that will become self-sustaining and enable members to work both as a peer supervision group and a source of one to one peer support. For further information please contact the branch here.

The group provides an opportunity to meet up and network with other self employed and independent HR and L&D consultants in the Northamptonshire area. You're welcome to join us at the independents group 'Happy Hour' which will provide an opportunity for group members to share ideas and experiences in an informal and relaxed environment. Meetings take place on the third Thursday of each month starting at 17:30 and you can find out more on the branch events page or by contacting the branch.

The diversity and inclusion (D&I) peer support group provides a forum for D&I professionals to meet, share learning and find out more about D&I and find out where to get further information. The group holds regular online meetings discussing topics such as Black History Month, LGBT+ inclusive workplaces and Mental Health Awareness. To find out more please contact the branch.
