Welcome to our branch

I am delighted to welcome you to our CIPD branch in Leicestershire. We are a group of like-minded volunteers who are committed to providing a strong presence in the area to ensure that you, as HR and L&D professionals, are getting what you deserve from your CIPD membership. We are striving to ensure that there is an excellent local offering available to those who are part of our branch. At whatever stage in your career, we want to make sure that there is something for everyone.

Our work as branch volunteers is to champion the profession and support the work of the CIPD as a career partner to you. We will do this through running events, working closely with the CIPD to provide mentor/mentee relationships, running networks and more.

We serve over 2000 members in the Leicestershire area, and we believe that everyone has a part to play in making the branch a great network of people professionals developing and championing the world of work. We look forward to meeting and developing professional relationships with you all.

Independents and freelancers

Led by Joy Collison, Chartered FCIPD, our Independents and Freelancers group has been established since 2019 and we have experience and knowledge not limited to but including the world of generalist HR, L&D, strategic planning, employee relations, wellbeing and business psychology.

We meet monthly to discuss, explore and share knowledge across a broad range of subjects, such as mental health, redundancy and current HR challenges. We are fortunate to have a group of experts willing to facilitate sessions in their areas of expertise, and we welcome any independent Leicestershire-based people practitioners to our group.
