Steve and the CIPD Community

Dear CIPD Community users,

I wanted to let you know that at the end of the year we will be saying a fond farewell to Steve Bridger, who has provided community management and moderation support to the CIPD Community for over 20 years now. I know this will be sad news for many of you who have regularly used our community. Steve has been a huge part of making it the valued member service it has become, helping countless people professionals solve their work and career challenges and guiding the development of the site as it has been through many changes. His expertise, calm and supportive approach, and depth of knowledge have been appreciated by everyone.

We remain as committed as ever to building this community as a place for exceptional practical advice and peer support, with our amazing Community Champions at the heart of it and a dedicated team (Michelle, Mark and myself) in support.

I am sure many of you will want to join me in expressing your appreciation for Steve’s outstanding contribution to the CIPD.

Oli, Head of Membership

  • Noooo! Say it ain't so, !

    Steve has had a ring-side seat to my professional evolution over the last 20 years and been a constant reassuring presence. Honestly, I had my doubts if he even existed as a physical human being or if he was simply a ghost in the CIPD machine, eternal, unchanging... and a very convincing AI model on a Teams call, now and then.

    I can only wish him bon voyage on wherever his own journey takes him next and hope that his successor is half as good, as to aspire for more would seem unrealistic.
