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. Amanda's original post showed disappointment that there isn't as much debate on the forums as she'd like to see.  We've seen in numerous posts where people agree / disagree with each other and by stating their reasons why it naturally turns in to a debate, albeit possibly very different from the one which Amanda originally intended.  It's important for less experienced practitioners (and in fact any practitioners) to be able to understand opposing views, especially since they may be very valid.  This develops my ability to consider a variety of options for future scenarios.


    Yes, some of us do feel that it's important to know whether others support the views already made or not.  A complex question with 1 brief answer that hasn't been expanded on and no further responses hardly gives the originator confidence, yet if a number of others support the view this builds on confidence.


    So some people do see the validity.  My tuppence'th anyway...
