People Management

People Management (PM) is the UK's biggest human resources (HR) publication, with an average circulation of 134,853 (2015).^[1] It is the official magazine of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), and is published by Haymarket Media Group.^[2] People management is defined as a set of practices that encompass the end-to-end processes of talent acquisition, talent optimization, and talent retention while providing continued support for the business and guidance for the employees of an organization.^[3]

In 1996, it became the first magazine in the UK to refuse “ageist” recruitment advertisements, as the start of a campaign against age discrimination,^[4] which saw PM draw up a charter that was eventually signed by 65 recruitment communications and marketing businesses.^[5]

In addition to age discrimination, the magazine has worked to raise awareness of the employment issues facing employees with mental illness, ex-offenders, dyslexic people, women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and gay, lesbian and bisexual workers. It has also highlighted best practice in managing and supporting employees with cancer. In 2006, it ran a successful campaign to draw attention to the issue of pregnancy at work, for which it joined forces with baby charity Tommy's.

Its website includes an HR jobs search and a supplier directory. In 2011, People Management changed from a fortnightly publication schedule to a monthly one.^[6] April 2011 was the first monthly issue to be published.^[7] In 2015, international editions of People Management were launched in the Middle East and Asia.
