Of its many uses, CIPD members use the framework to plan their development and build
their HR capability. This document will help you get started…You can then use the tools on
our website to plan your development in more detail.

Take a look at the Bands Description and Transitions handout.
Which band are you currently working at?
Which band do you need to be at (because of your current role or changes in the way
you work, for example)?
(Concentrate on this band when you are looking at the professional areas and

What do you need to do to get there (see transition handout)? Give specific examples.
