Still unsure about what's in it for you?
People join us for many different reasons.
Here's how to make the most of your CIEHF membership benefits depending on what's most important to you.
You can grow your career and expand your professional network
Join a supportive community where you'll gain access to knowledge, connections and opportunities that can help shape your career. From meet-ups to mentoring, you'll meet people who can inspire and support your journey.
You can strengthen your work with evidence and expertise
Access a wealth of journals, conference papers and specialist resources to support your recommendations, strengthen reports and make evidence-based decisions with confidence.
You can give something back
Get involved with mentoring, volunteering opportunities or even become a trustee (This is all good for CPD and your CV!). You could learn about the workings of our organisation, influence our decision making and gain new contacts by being elected to our boards. Membership gives you the chance to give back to the profession while developing new skills and experiences.
You can access benefits that deliver real value
Your membership will give you access to resources that are worth thousands of times the fee - every year. For example, a single paper in the journal Ergonomics costs £48. You get access to every paper that's ever been published in not just this one, but two journals as part of your membership. You get access to a whole library of downloadable human factors text books, which sell for between £50 and £400. You'd save at least the cost of your membership if you came to our annual conference (the best place to meet and learn from the community). And then there's all the intangible benefits such as making connections, getting free advice and support, expanding your knowledge, hearing about opportunities and many more!
