Get instant access to resources and support

In a world of work that never stands still, Affiliate Membership helps you keep your people policies and practices relevant and up to date. 

Affiliate Members get exclusive CIPD insights, research, case studies and resources, and the support of worldwide community of more than 160,000 people professionals to learn from and share ideas with. 

“Being able to access the CIPD's online resources is really important for me and my organisation.” 

Jennifer Davies, Deputy General Manager, The Nederlander Dominion Theatre

This grade is for you if:
