CIPD responds to furlough scheme extension
The CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, welcomes the extension of the furlough scheme to help employers to plan for and save jobs in those sectors directly impacted through this period of lockdowns and loss of business. At the same time, the CIPD would urge government to also provide more support for those people who do lose their jobs with funding for training, coaching and support to find alternative work.
