Careers hub
The careers hub is an inclusive space for people professionals to come together to benefit from the experience of others, and ask the questions they’ve never quite had the right person or context to ask.
Each session will focus on a particular career path or progression point. A different panel of speakers will share their own story, reflect on the skills needed to excel, some of the unexpected learnings they discovered and their ‘top three’ things they wish they’d known. Whether you are about to embark on a journey to career promotion, or perhaps making the leap to become an independent consultant, ask live questions to those who have learnings and experience in these decisions.

Employment rights bill roundtables
The CIPD has been consulting on the employment rights bill over the past 12 months, and continues to represent CIPD members and the people profession views with government on how these reforms will influence the workplace. The bill is expected to become law across the coming months, but there are still areas of secondary legislation to consult on and important legislation changes to be agreed upon. Most notably, the practicalities of the new probation period.
This is your chance to direct the conversations and ensure your voice is heard. Join us for a series of exclusive roundtable discussions where we will collaborate to:
- Share your insights and experiences directly with CIPD policy experts
- Explore critical issues affecting people professionals, including trade union reforms, zero hours contracts, and the unfair dismissal process
- Contribute to CIPD’s consultation responses, helping to ensure your voice reaches the highest levels of policymaking.
