Leading with purpose: opening doors to senior HR roles – new report
Our recently published Leading with purpose report on the CIPD Trust’s Aspiring HRD programme highlights the impact of mentoring within the people profession.
Leading with purpose
The report shares how mentoring is shaping careers, boosting confidence, and opening up senior leadership roles across the people profession. It’s packed with real stories from those who’ve taken part, as well as practical advice for any organisation looking to build inclusive, purpose-led leadership pipelines.
The report includes:
- First-hand insight into how mentors have grown – both personally and professionally
- Career-changing outcomes for mentees, with many stepping into strategic leadership roles
- Actionable recommendations for organisations wanting to diversify their senior leadership
Emma saw the big picture, and she never judged. She helped me understand what I needed to thrive and how to communicate that with confidence.
Krystle Siaw, Senior People Partner at the LEGO Group and mentee
Working with Krystle reminded me that mentoring isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being open, curious and willing to learn. She gave me as much as I gave her, if not more.
