Case Study: Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development supports HR leaders with Guild

CIPD sets up HR Leader COVID19 support group on Guild

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), one of the UK’s largest membership organisations for HR and people development, saw a sharp rise in member questions during the COVID-19 lockdown. To better support senior HR leaders facing issues such as redundancies, furlough, remote working, and employee wellbeing, CIPD needed a fast, private, and easy-to-use way to manage peer support and member queries using Guild.

Guild helped CIPD launch a closed HR Leader COVID-19 support group within days, creating a secure mobile space for senior HR directors to connect, share concerns, and support one another. The group grew to 66 members and continues to expand, giving CIPD a practical way to provide timely peer-to-peer support while also responding to member needs and sharing resources.
