2025 HEADLINE ARTISTS
At its core, the CIPD Festival of Work is a celebration of the brilliant potential within ourselves. Delivered by the CIPD to help organisations and their people build better working lives, by breaking down silos. Empowering the people profession to communicate, influence and collaborate internally. By sharing know-how and working together — enabled by technology — organisations can truly benefit their people, improve productivity and help society prosper.
