Steve and the CIPD Community

Oli

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

    Thank you all so much. Being part of this community since we started in 2004 has been an honour and a privilege, and the kindness, generosity and support I’ve received from so many of you has meant more than I can put into words. I’m especially grateful to our Community Champions and long-standing members - your incredible commitment and collective wisdom has been so valued by me, and I know by so many of your peers. 

    Together, we achieved good things. We supported countless members through some very difficult moments, and we created a space that was safe, comfortable and non-performative - a place where people could simply be themselves. In today’s world, that feels like something truly special. Long may that continue.

    I’ll carry so many memories with me. Thank you for everything - this community and the HR profession will forever have a very special place in my heart. 

    I leave you in the very capable hands of  and  

    Keep carrying the fire.
