What makes this Community so special?

Steve Bridger over 7 years ago

A big assumption, perhaps... but it's a few years since I last asked this question and I know we have lots of new community members.

Can you sum it all up in a sentence? An anecdote? A word, even.

It would be great to hear how you benefit from the forums - professionally or in your working role.

Thanks a million.

My connection with the mothership - working on what might was well be another planet rather than just a remote island, being a part of this community helps me keep my knowledge and UK employment law and HR practice up-to-date and is an important part of my own professional development.

Not an especially useful quality in a HR community, unless someone is particularly interested in the rather odd employment laws of British Overseas Territories or other colonial islands. Or the HR needs of penguins ;)

I don't underrate the value of lessons from the penguin community Lesley :-)

Their "employment as a penguin" laws have let them survive for millennia with nothing but fish and a few feathers between them and extinction. As a lesson in discipline and mutual support, the conduct of the penguin community might usefully be copied in many UK Mainland workplaces. Step out of line you get pecked; be part off the team and you stay warm and survive. What part of that is not an HR (PR) procedural objective?
