Supporting Northern employers As organisations continue to adapt to new ways of working, we are enjoying connecting with forward-thinking northern employers - including Damart, PPG, VetPartners and MerseyCare NHS – to deliver sessions on professional development, membership, and insights on the future of work. Rob Williams, Head of Talent at VetPartners said: “It was helpful for our people team to understand the development and support resources available from the CIPD and also how the profession map aligns with our values as a business.” Due to the popularity of these sessions, we will be launching online and face-to-face events for small-medium sized organisations (SMEs) soon. These will provide an opportunity to find out more about how the CIPD, and membership, can benefit and add value to smaller HR teams and businesses.
Essential skills in the workplace Did you know that the cost of low essential skills – such as communication and problem-solving - to the UK in 2022 was £22.2 billion? We held an ‘Essential Skills in the Workplace’ think tank - in collaboration with Skills Builder Partnership - to gain insight from northern people professionals about what opportunities there are to develop and sustain essential skills across the workforce. The lively discussion and insights shared will enable Skills Builder Partnership to develop learning assets and tools to help HR and L&D professionals build and measure essential skills in the workplace.
United for public sector excellence We are delighted to announce the renewal of their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the CIPD, Health People Managers Association (HPMA), Public Services People Managers Association (PPMA) and Universities HR (UHR). This partnership reaffirms our commitment to working collaboratively to create a strong, diverse and high-performing people profession that can support the nearly six million people employed in public service organisations. The renewed partnership will extend efforts in supporting each other’s conferences, collaboratively addressing public policy consultations and media issues with a unified public service stance. Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, CIPD said: “Through this partnership we can help ensure people professionals in the public sector can develop the skills and capabilities they need.”
Michael Millward FCIPD said: “This is a big challenge for every employer. It’s great to see this sort of project taking off. This was a really interesting session.”
