Our values

Working at the CIPD means being part of a team that’s shaping a profession for the future. All our people are important to us and play a vital role in support of our purpose to champion better work and working lives. We are highly committed to every employee's learning and development, helping them excel and making their working life the best it can be.

Recruiting people who reflect our values is essential to delivering our strategy. Every person we employ is a champion and role model for better work and working lives. We welcome talent from a diverse range of backgrounds and the roles vary enormously: it could be researching new insights, building relationships with stakeholders, or supporting others as part of a team. But we’re all ambassadors for one brand: living and breathing the same values and united by the shared conviction that we can make work and working lives better. It’s a great reason to come to work at the CIPD, in addition to the great benefits, range of development opportunities available and commitment to a strong coaching and feedback culture.

Our values are reflected in our competency framework which outlines a clear set of behaviours. It identifies the behaviours that we value and expect from everyone. Through our framework, we’ll develop behaviours which will drive our own, our team’s and our organisation’s performance.
