Quality of CIPD online discussions

This is my first foray into the mist of CIPD online discussions and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed with the quality of some discussion for debate. 

Not to say that the items listed are not relevant but I think it would be better to have an 'advice section' for those individuals who have simple questions about practice to be answered? 

Then the space for discussions can be recogised and valued more as one where real debate will occur.

  • If I may, a general observation:


    I do think the Communities exceedingly useful, even for reason that 'all HR life is there' - with problems like those recounted here daily, who needs coursework or textbook scenarios ??


    And, even if one's own self or workplace hasn't encountered most of  these problems, it's still potentially valuable to read up on the worst-case scenarios and to be prepared if similar ever happens - pehaps using the search facilities to find it again.


    Not sure whether the 'quality of discussions' is too relevant in this context, assuming that the majority of the responses reflect sensible and informed professional judgments.


    Often, the responses of others are based on their own past experience, so aren't just hypothetical.


    Just as there's rarely any single 'right' answer to many problems raised here, I think there's rarely any very meaningful distinction to be made between that which is 'quality' and that which is dross: it merely reflects our stock in trade, which is people.
