Going public

The regular media appearances of John Philpott, the CIPD’s chief economist, commenting on employment trends and the impact of the credit crunch is one of the ways the institute’s voice on public policy issues is being heard by a wide audience.

The CIPD, in partnership with members and branches, is well placed to represent the public policy interests of HR by using its research and the professional experience of members to develop pragmatic, rather than political, responses to public policy.
