The CIPD Legal Helpline is my go-to place when I need reassurance that my own HR rational is correct and there's no one else to ask.
Mobola immediately grasped what I was explaining, and gave me clear, precise reasons for the correct direction to take, which reassured me that I was definitely on the right track. She was friendly and very helpful.
I've been an Associate Member of the CIPD for over 5 years now, and this is one of the useful perks of my membership, with 20 free calls a year.

Farouk was super helpful

Farouk was super helpful in simplifying the noise around the ER issue I was discussing with him. Also, even after keeping him on the phone for almost an hour, he was really patient and supportive. I felt properly listened to and went away much clearer in my thinking.

CIPD HR INFORM EXPERIENCE…

I spoke with James Forrester and he was so detailed, kind and highly patient. Ensured my questions were answered and even offered me a deal to support my needs. Then I had my onboarding with Lilian and she was so amazing! I had to cancel twice and she kept rescheduling regardless. Our session was great, she gave great information at every stage yet kept it comprehensive. Loved my experiences so far.

Fabulous Onboarding

We recently completed our onboarding session with Lilian, and it was both informative and well-structured. She provided a comprehensive walkthrough of the system, including all supporting tools and templates. Additionally, when we expressed interest in exploring further information, Lilian was extremely helpful and responsive, addressing all of our additional questions with clarity and professionalism. Thank you for a great onboarding session Lilian.
