Do you still use paper and quill to record notes... or a laptop?

Phil

I thought I would ask the opinion of HR professionals.

Throughout my career I have hand written my investigation and disciplinary notes, some going on to 30 – 40 pages long (and a very saw hand).

What is common place now, is it still to use the old fashioned quill and paper or do people tend to use laptops?

    We get consent from all parties to record the meetings; upload to gdrive as an mp4; share in gdrive (as "view" only) and get everyone to email that they have listened and agree. Very secure; no mistakes; can only access with a 2 step verification code

    Hate to say this but.... I am lucky enough to have maintained my shorthand skills and although not at the speed I once was, this serves me well in formal or informal meetings. Of course, some of you will have worked out that if I can do shorthand I'm old enough to have been a touch typist too so I have also used a laptop. However, I have to admit to trusting my shorthand more than technology. It's all very well using technology until it does something unexpected or doesn't do something you expect and you lose an hours worth of meeting notes. Not funny. Also, small point, I attended a meeting today with notes taken by the host and the keyboard clicking away was extremely annoying so I would urge those of you who use one to select a soft touch keyboard.
