CIPD Scotland Highlights 2021
We’re delighted to bring you our annual highlights as CIPD in Scotland, showcasing some of our successes and achievements throughout 2021. Throughout 2021 our influence in public policy continued to grow as we’ve increasingly engaged Scottish policy makers on a wide range of devolved workplace matters. A highlight for us this year has been the launch of two new Scotland-wide networks, one for Independent Practitioners and one for OD specialists, these networks give like-minded CIPD members working in similar specialisms the opportunity to collaborate, network, share and learn from each other.
