Quality of CIPD online discussions

Amanda Claire Baldwin

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.

  • I really appreciate the communities, and have certainly increased my own knowledge as a result of reading others' posts.  As I'm responsible for a very small HR department, it is very reassuring to know that there are people who have the same questions and dilemmas as me.  Sure, I get irritated by some of the posts... HR to employee ratios spring to mind!  Maybe an FAQ section would help - but then I guess that people who don't choose to search perhaps wouldn't check out FAQs either.  Or perhaps we need to get better at tagging our posts!


    I like the idea of a "like" button or something similar - I also often don't post because someone has got there before that has said basically what I would have done.  And personally I like to be really confident of what I'm saying before I say it - and am sometimes not quite confident enough.


    Overall, I think the communities are pretty good and do achieve a reasonable balance of quick questions versus debates.
