HR is centred around people and I agree that it should be a place where individuals feel they can get the support they need to perform well in their role.

My best manager really listened to me and made sure that we had regular informal conversations or "check-in's" to see how I was doing.

I have heard about the CIPD but I am a student so would love to know about the student membership and if anyone has any experience with this. As well as this, I am interested in the Level 3 Diploma for distance learning after I graduate next year, to help me gain more HR knowledge.
