BEST MOMENTS
"We spent a lot of time talking to obviously both people professionals, members and non-members, business leaders, academics, industry experts, both in the UK and internationally to really determine what might it look like, what's the commonality, the themes around being a people professional."
"So we did have a, I guess, a set of professional standards. And as you might imagine, we've had a different variation of that over the years”
"So we start with the purpose of the profession at the heart of it, championing better work and working lives. Really wanting to, and that was very much the feedback that we got, was that professionals was keen to be identified with that wider purpose."
"So people analytics in particular is a specialist knowledge area. AI sits across a number of different things."
