CIPD Membership Value

Hi All

Received my renewal letter yesterday. Please would someone rejuvenate my interest? Do you feel membership has benefits? I'm genuinely struggling to see what value it offers to be honest.

(I do appreciate the irony of using the community site to post this!)

  • I stay a member largely for the communities and the occasional use of the information resources on the website.

    I don't access or use any of the other services
  • Yes, Communities and professional information services can in themselves be most valuable indeed, but some of us have been banging-on for ages that CIPD could add immensely to membership value were they to begin to provide services to members who find themselves in professional difficulties / trouble - more in line with those available from eg medical professionals’ bodies such as those of doctors or nurses or radiologists etc

  • Agree with Keith and David. the communities and resources / knowledge base allow access to information that would cost a fortune if purchased on an "as needed" basis.
    A single reply that brings a solution to a thorny employment law question would cost several years of subscriptions if it were bought from a law firm.......
