When faced with turbulent times there tends to be a dichotomy in responses that’s evident not just in business but in politics and society too.

The Two Sides of a Global Leader: "Liberating Agent" and "Intercultural Facilitator"

What if your team could transition from the idea of being just a group of employees that happen to work in this place, into a community of people who share the same values and rules? What if they could find a higher meaning, care about their work, and the company could access their full arsenal of talents and initiatives?

There is one way to have all this, says Isaac Getz, author of the book “Freedom, Inc.” and speaker at the HR Club event on October 4th, HighFuture Conference.

BREXIT - notes from the CIPD Chief Executive

CIPD announces that is committed to support HR professionals in this period of change, after the British people voted to leave EU. In this article we have a message from CIPD Chief Executive, Peter Cheese and a link to a FAQ document updated by the association. 

After months of campaigning and uncertainty, the people of the UK have voted to leave the European Union. The implications of this landmark decision will be far-reaching and will undoubtedly affect the world of work, with HR and L&D professionals being at the forefront of these changes.

It’s a hugely complex area and even with the ‘leave’ decision being clear, there are still a significant number of uncertainties as to how the decision to leave will play out in practice.

Our exit from the European Union will likely take at least two years, giving both the UK Government and businesses time to adjust. It’s very important that both government and businesses take this time to properly assess the long-term impacts of any decisions they take and it’s vital that people are at the heart of these decisions.

While the UK’s official exit from the European Union won’t happen for some time, the effects of the ‘leave’ decision may be felt much sooner in your workplace. In the first instance, it’s likely that your colleagues may have questions over what the change may mean for employment regulation and employee rights, and how it might affect migrant workers and their right to live and work in the UK.

CIPD is here to support you through this period of change and give you the information you need to understand how the decision may affect your work as a HR or L&D professional, what it may mean for your workforce and for your organisation moving forward.  We will be communicating through our website and our various channels, but also we encourage you to engage with us as we facilitate discussion and dialogue within our community to share perspectives, challenges and ideas as this new future unfolds.
