CIPD Empowering People-Valuing Difference. At the CIPD, we believe that every person brings unique perspectives, experiences and strengths that enrich our workplaces and communities. We see diversity as the wide range of visible and non-visible differences that make each of us who we are — including, but not limited to: age, colour, disability, ethnicity, education, gender identity, neurodiversity, religion or belief, relationship status, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic background and other personal and protected characteristics and experiences.

Research continues to show that equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), drives better decision-making, innovation and problem-solving and in turn better organisational business outcomes. By embracing our differences and creating equal opportunities and inclusive cultures we can build environments where everyone feels respected, valued and able to thrive — and where both organisational and individual goals are achieved.

We are determined to ensuring employment policy and practice promote and deliver EDI at every stage of the employment relationship. This includes not only recognising and understanding how each individuals personal and protected characteristics can either advantage or disadvantage employment experiences and outcomes, but also to continually strengthen our understanding and sharing the benefits EDI.

Please note, we reserve the right to close or extend this position depending on application numbers. Therefore, we would urge you to submit an application as soon as possible.
