We are Member Centric

You are member‑centric, always thinking about what matters most to our members. Through your focus and care, you help us build lasting impact and trust.

In a world shaped by rapid change, emerging technologies, geopolitical pressures and rising environmental risks, we know that standing still is not an option. That is why we are continuing an open dialogue about the capabilities we need today and in future.

  • At CIPS, you will be encouraged to challenge the status quo, think differently and collaborate widely—because great ideas come from bringing different perspectives together.
  • CIPS’ commitment comes to life through the work of the CIPS Foundation, where we extend our impact beyond our organisation—supporting communities, advancing the profession and helping to improve lives around the world.

Inclusion at CIPS

At CIPS, we are committed to creating a workplace where every employee feels respected, valued, and able to contribute. We believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are key enablers for collaboration and innovation.

  • How we bring this to life


    Our ED&I approach is driven by a clear strategy and brought to life through inclusive training that builds awareness, empathy and allyship across all colleagues. We prioritise psychological safety, creating an environment where everyone feels confident to speak up and support one another. At the heart of this is our People Forum—an employee-led group, supported by executive leadership that champions ongoing cultural awareness and inclusion initiatives. Alongside this, employee networks offer safe, empowering spaces to share experiences, spark ideas and actively strengthen allyship across the organisation.
  • What this means for you

    
Joining us means being part of a supportive, inclusive culture where you belong, share ideas, ask questions and make a meaningful impact. We’re on a continuous journey—listening, learning, supporting one another, and growing together.
