Advice with Chartered upgrade

Ella

After many years in the profession and operating for quite a few at manager level, I feel it's about time I upgrade to Chartered Member. Reading the standards, I'm definitely operating at that level, but I've always had difficulty in filling out the form.

Is there somewhere I can go and ask the question? Really, I'm just looking for guidance as to what they're wanting to see - how much? Many of the questions read like you need to have specific projects that you've done, with budgets, metrics data etc, but I've never worked for a company that has been that detailed in it's KPI on a change/problem solving initiative etc.

Would be good just to speak to someone and it seems like there are no upgrading workshops or anything like that about.

Thanks

    Hi Lynsey, apologies for jumping on this thread but I have decided to go down the application route and would love any guidance you could offer regarding the types of examples and evidence you provided - I really want to ensure my application reaches the correct level of impact. Many thanks and kind regards, Belle

    Hi Lynsey,
    Great that you're thinking of upgrading your membership with us. I'm one of the internal assessors with the CIPD and very happy to help.
    If you haven't already, please have a read through our candidate guidance for form assessments on the website. It contains a lot of useful information around impact evidence, including examples of what medium to long-term impact looks like at Chartered Member level.
    At Chartered Member, we look for 3 themes in your examples. 1. Strategic complexity 2. The way you influence stakeholders and 3. the impact/value your work has brought to your organisation in the medium to long-term (ideally over a year). We call this the 'so what' of your work. You can demonstrate this impact using hard and soft measures - so, changes in employee engagement scores, attrition & retention, promotion, absence figures (depending on your example) etc. as well as qualitative feedback from line managers or employees, reputational impact, a new HR approach becoming the norm, internal awards etc. Does that help?
    And also, since February, we have removed the need for you to submit colleague feedback with your online application.
    I'm very happy to help answer any further questions you have Belle, please do let us know.
    Warmest,
    Tisha.
