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.

  • Hi Megan.  In my mind, an "agree" button allows the original poster and others experiencing similar issues is very useful.  It adds weight to the validity of someone's response, but should, of course, be looked at in the context of how many views the thread has had.  e.g. 1000 views, 1 agree, could decide to treat with caution.  1000 views, 100 agree, some validity to this point.  Those who disagree should then be encouraged to explain why.  This adds to everyone's understanding and helps to turn the thread in to a debate and hopefully maintain a professional level.
