Organisations that prioritise professional development see stronger employee engagement, lower staff turnover and more effective HR strategies.
What is the most impactful way to achieve this? Backing your team with CIPD-accredited training. That’s why investing in your Human Resources team isn’t just good practice - it’s a business-critical decision.
Building better people professionals
CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) qualifications are the gold standard for HR.
According to their People Profession Survey, businesses are increasingly relying on HR teams to shape workforce strategy, drive employee wellbeing, and lead on diversity and inclusion initiatives. These responsibilities demand strategic thinking, ethical leadership and up-to-date knowledge of evolving workplace trends.
By supporting your team to study for a CIPD qualification, you’re giving them the skills and confidence to step into that bigger role. Whether it’s a Level 3 Foundation Certificate for those starting out, or a Level 5 Associate Diploma for experienced professionals, learners gain expertise in areas like talent management, organisational performance and employee experience, which feed directly into stronger outcomes for your business. It also gives them a valuable voice within the senior leadership team in the organisation.
Better HR leads to better retention
Strong HR capability improves processes and impacts people. Research by the CIPD shows that organisations with effective people practices see higher levels of engagement and significantly lower attrition. When HR professionals understand what motivates employees and how to support career development, they can design people strategies that attract and retain top talent.
And when combined with a CIPD qualification, such as the Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management, the results can be even more powerful. Designed for your experienced HR professionals aiming for a leadership role, the Level 7 equips them with the skills to drive strategic HR initiatives and lead organisational change.
