Welcome to the Research Participation Forum - please read before posting

CIPD Community Moderator

We have launched this dedicated space for community members undertaking research that supports their study, learning, and professional knowledge-sharing within the people profession. It provides an opportunity to connect with the community and seek research participants, helping to build professional knowledge and evidence-based practice. 

We ask that all research shared here is conducted in good faith and for educational, academic, or professional purposes.

It is not intended for:

  • Research conducted on behalf of an employer, client, or commercial organisation.
  • Commercial, marketing, sales, customer insight, or product-related research.
  • Activities intended to generate leads, promote products or services, or support business development

Before You Post

To help ensure that research shared within the community is conducted ethically, students carrying out research as part of their studies must provide evidence of ethical approval to the Community Team before posting.

Please send your documentation to communitymanagementteam@cipd.co.uk. Once your approval has been reviewed and confirmed by the Community Moderation Team, you may post your participant recruitment request in this space.

We recommend using a clear title that reflects your research topic. This helps members quickly identify studies relevant to their interests and encourages participation.

As this is an open forum, we ask all members to continue following our Community Guidelines when posting and do not share personal email addresses, telephone numbers, or other personal contact details in the forum feed.

Posts that do not meet these requirements or have not received prior approval from the Community Moderation Team, may be removed.

We look forward to supporting members in their learning, research, and knowledge-sharing while maintaining a safe and trusted community environment for all.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Community Team.

  • Thank you so much for opening this forum to support all  researchers in the community. Appreciate this! 

  • As an academic, can I clarify this further 'We look forward to supporting members in their academic and professional learning' - is this board therefore for members who are undertaking CIPD or other relevant qualifications (learning), or is it for academics who research HR related topics, or both?

    Hi Gemma,

    Thank you for highlighting this. That's a really good point and a great spot. The final paragraph shouldn't refer to "academic", I appreciate this confuses things, I'll get that amended.

    This space is intended for members undertaking research as part of their CIPD studies or other professional qualifications, rather than those carrying out academic research projects.

    We do have a separate Academic Forum for CIPD Academic Members and members that are researchers, and involved in teaching CIPD qualifications. It was created as a space to share ideas, ask questions, build connections, and grow academic networks. It's also open to members with a particular interest in research, publications, and collaborating with academics to increase research impact.

    The forum was launched over a year ago but hasn't seen the level of engagement we had hoped for, so it's currently under review. In the meantime, we're maintaining a list of members who would like to be involved and will provide updates once we've decided on the next steps. I'd be very happy to add you to that list if you'd like to be included.

    For now, we'd still be very happy for you to share your research request in the Research Participation space, subject to providing evidence of the appropriate approval if this will enable you to reach a broad audience of HR and people professionals across the community.

    Let us know.
