Learn, collaborate and network with CIPD members and people professionals in Northern Ireland
Welcome to the CIPD Branch in Northern Ireland.
We are a thriving community of CIPD members providing a strong, supportive and professional network. I would encourage you to get involved.
As Chair, I am privileged to represent a community of dedicated professionals who are committed to excellence, innovation, and continuous growth. The aim of our branch is to support our members by providing a programme of events based on cutting-edge research, industry insights, topical themes, professional development, and a strong community of peers.
Be sure to come along to one of our branch events and take the opportunity to network, collaborate, share ideas, meet your peers and catch up with friends and colleagues. You can also connect via LinkedIn.
Thank you for being part of our community. I look forward to welcoming you all.
Nicola Barber, Chartered FCIPD
Branch Chair
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.
We’re an active branch with over 3,500 members. The CIPD Northern Ireland branch committee are a volunteer team of exceptionally committed and experienced HR professionals. In 2022/23, for the first time, we are especially delighted that the branch has two student CIPD members on the team.
There are lots of ways to get involved with the branch – come along to one of our events, engage with our online discussions and on our social media platforms. And you can sign up to our branch newsletter below.
If you are interested in joining the branch committee team, we advertise volunteer opportunities online and in our newsletter around March/April each year. Joining the branch committee is an excellent way to broaden your network and build upon or share your skills.
We are always looking to showcase local NI organisations and HR Talent – if you are interested in guest speaking at an event or participating in an online panel discussion to share your expertise or perhaps a case study, we would love to hear from you.
We are here for our members, and we are always open to exploring new ideas and opportunities, so if you have any ideas, or suggestions or if you are keen to get involved, please get in touch or chat with us at a future event.
With workshops, round tables, panel discussions and expert speakers, our thought-provoking events cover everything our community needs. Network, learn and stay up to date.
