Be better informed and use more recent references in your assignments

The CIPD has just sent out its first issue of In a nutshell..., its monthly email summary of new and interesting thinking and research from across HR literature. (It's being emailed to all CIPD members, so if you haven't got yours, check your spam filter, and failing that, contact the CIPD directly.) This is so useful because, when talking about HR to managers and directors who question its relevance, it helps to be able to cite new and well-written articles, rather than the old stuff everybody learns in college. And of course you can use the research as references in your CIPD Certificate assignments!

If you like that, then there are other free regular emails you can subscribe to.

The BPS Occupational Digest email is a short and easy-to-read summary of occupational, work and business psychology research and theory, put together by the British Psychology Society. You can visit its website and subscribe to the email at http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/occupational-digest/occupational-digest

And if that gets you interested in more general psychology theory and research - much of which is just as relevant to HR and business - then look at the BPS Research Digest, at http://www.bps.org.uk/publications/research-digest/research-digest

Happy reading!
