The People Profession
Now and for the future
This way to the future of work
We believe in the power of the people profession. And the reason for that is simple: organisations are made up of people. The People Profession: now and for the future is the CIPD vision for our evolving profession, complete with practical ways for people professionals to make a greater impact and thrive through change.
This is our opportunity to redraw the boundaries of our profession and redefine our business impact. We have never had more scope to shape strategy and lead transformation within organisations across the world.
The Profession Map sits at the core of this work, and will help you drive change, manage complexity and navigate uncertainty.
