Before embarking on her CIPD journey, Kelly’s responsibilities as a HR Advisor revolved around providing advisory support for UK entities and handling administrative tasks for European entities within her company. However, upon completion of the Level 5 CIPD course, Kelly’s career trajectory underwent a remarkable evolution. Now she proudly holds the title of HR Specialist in Global HR Operations, and she is now at the forefront of initiatives catering to a global workforce exceeding 4,000 members.

The impact of Kelly’s CIPD qualification isn’t limited to her professional responsibilities—it’s reflected in her finances too. With a remarkable 21% salary increase, Kelly’s enhanced qualifications and expanded role responsibilities have significantly elevated her earning potential. This trend isn’t unique to Kelly; HR roles requiring CIPD qualifications command up to £4,400 (16%) more in pay compared to non-CIPD counterparts, demonstrating the tangible value of accredited expertise.
