Learn, collaborate and network with CIPD members and people professionals in Chiltern
Welcome to the CIPD Branch in Chiltern. We are open to CIPD members based in the Chiltern area as well as local business professionals and anyone interested in championing better working and working lives.
Whether you are a student new to the People Profession, a long-established practitioner, or somewhere in between, we welcome you to join us at our events. We offer you opportunities to network, learn, and share, amongst a diverse group of people, invited speakers, and much more. If you're a CIPD member visiting from outside the branch area or interested in a particular event, we invite you to join us.
The CIPD Branch in Chiltern endeavours to deliver a variety of events covering a broad range of topics. We aim to run events that offer excellent opportunities for every member at every level to maintain up-to-date practice. If you attend branch meetings and programmed events, we can help you improve your personal and professional skills as well as give you the chance to engage with other people professionals for support and networking.

Our members rate their access to a local branch in their top three membership benefits. Come along to our branch events to discover other CIPD benefits. Explore the issues and trends impacting our profession. Network, learn and share ideas with people professionals in our area.
As a committee we believe that you can benefit most from your membership by being actively involved in branch activities. This may be through attending events, contributing to our newsletters, participating in our online discussions or by joining our branch committee. Whatever level of involvement you can offer, we have no doubt you will find it both valuable and enjoyable.

This group is for HR practitioners who work within SMEs in the Chilterns, perhaps as a stand-alone HR professional for up to 250 employees. Our events are focused on HR practices in smaller organisations and how to succeed in a stand-alone role.
