North East HR&D Awards – Meet the partners: CIPD

The world of work is changing rapidly.

From hybrid working to skills shortages and artificial intelligence integration, people professionals are navigating increasingly complex workplace challenges.

CIPD supports more than 162,000 members globally – including 28,000 across Northern England – to turn these challenges into opportunities.

As the professional body for HR, L&D and OD professionals, we provide the evidence-based insights and practical tools needed to drive positive change.

Kayleigh Tobbell, CIPD’s engagement manager for Northern England, says: “Today’s organisations need skilled people professionals more than ever.

“We’re seeing our members lead vital conversations around practices that benefit people and business performance.

“We know organisations thrive when they put people first.

“Through our Profession Map, we establish standards that help people professionals deliver strategic value, whatever challenges they face.

“In Northern England, we work with HR professionals, employers and policymakers to address regional needs, developing insights and practical solutions to workplace challenges.

“Our engagement team connects professionals through networks and events, creating spaces to collaborate, learn and shape a better future of work.

“We’re proud to sponsor the Excellence and Positive Impact category at the North East HR&D Awards.

“By recognising excellence in the profession and helping shine a light on the people practices that have the greatest impact, we’re helping to build a future of work that works for everyone.”
