CIPD is a Business Reporter client.
In an ever-changing world of work, are you sure you have the right HR expertise to help your business thrive?
The pandemic has had a huge impact on ways of working, with the rise of flexible and hybrid working, and on people’s health and wellbeing. More recently, we have seen rapid advances in technology that will greatly affect the future of work.
There are many complex human issues that employers need to carefully manage, including the use of generative AI, attracting and retaining talent, productivity and new ways of working, ensuring their people have the right skills, workplace conflict, leadership capabilities and supporting employee wellbeing.
Organizations must be able to adapt not only to survive, but to thrive. Behind every thriving organization is a team of experts who ensure that the work plays for everyone.
As the professional body for HR and people development, the CIPD is a trusted partner for HR professionals, providing support and guidance at every stage of their career. We work collaboratively with hundreds of organisations around the world, including the UK Government, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, NatWest, the NHS in England and Petronas, to help them get the most out of their people.
The key role of HR and people professionals
In times of significant change and opportunity, HR has a key role to play in supporting and building agile organizations.
HR teams are responsible for ensuring the right people are in the right positions, helping employees develop the skills they need to succeed, driving productivity, and creating inclusive workplace cultures. Without the right knowledge and expertise, organizations can be exposed to a variety of legal, compliance, and reputational risks.
Employers should expect the same level of professionalism from their HR and staffing team as they do from their finance team. When you hire a chartered accountant, you know they have the knowledge, skills and professional standards to take good care of your organisation’s finances. But who do you trust to look after your greatest asset – your people?
That’s why it’s so important to ensure your HR and people management teams have the right skills, experience and knowledge from a trusted source. When your HR team is professionalised with the support of the CIPD, you can be confident that your staff and your business are in expert hands.
