Influencing public policy in Ireland

What we’re working on

Our public policy priorities in Ireland include equality and inclusion, job quality and flexible work, labour market and skills, productivity, and people management. We collaborate with policy-makers to support them with the evidence and guidance they need to tackle these big issues.

Policy-makers and the media turn to us for an expert, impartial view on people, work and change. Our annual HR Practices survey reports how HR professionals drive positive change in how work is managed, valued and rewarded. And our most recent private sector pay and employment survey shows how challenges in employee retention are contributing to pay increases.

Skillnet Ireland

The CIPD is the promoter of the Sustainable HRM Skillnet, a business network established to share good practices and to respond effectively to the specific skills needed to operate sustainable people management practices. Network companies come together to build knowledge, insights and skills of HR and business leaders to start the culture change journey and instil people practices that prioritise sustainability. This will incorporate expert input, learning from case studies and good practices to develop a sustainable HRM architecture, and deliver training interventions.
