This week’s feedback

We asked delegates at the CIPD conference if chartered status raised the profile of the institute

Paul Harrop, European HR director of pharmaceuticals development company Kendle International

• “The CIPD gaining its chartered status has been a major development because it will gain recognition for personnel people. It is also a major leap forward because it will gain us more recognition in Europe.”

Clare Curran, personnel director, University of Teeside

• “Gaining chartered status has raised the profile of the personnel profession and greatly improved how we are seen. The profession has come a tremendous way from its roots in welfare.”

Winston Sotubo-Duncan, head of HR, Radio-communications Agency

• “The CIPD should be paying more attention to its members. It should consult more with them so it knows what issues to address.”

Bob Carlyle, HR director, Coats Viyella Clothing

• “More people will be drawn towards the profession. The CIPD must continue to promote our role as HR professionals so people can identify us.”

Philip Tomkins, HR manager, Allied Leisure

• “[The chartered status] has made no difference to me at all.”
