Research
The CIPD’s research covers all aspects of working life, from recruitment to employment law, and work-life balance to productivity. The CIPD's current research projects include: coaching,[15] cross-boundary working, employer branding, helping people learn, improving health through HRM, information and consultation, the relationship between HR and recruitment agencies, reward and smart working.

The CIPD releases a quarterly Labour Market Outlook survey [21] with KPMG, containing the latest unemployment figures and trends.
