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 think the quality of the posts on the communities is always likely to be subjective and difficult to measure.


    I like others on here regularly read the threads but don't always post a response as in many cases Peter G, Peter C, Mike, Julia or David have already replied fully and therefore I would not really add anything other than saying "Yep! I agree". 


    I would like to think that when I have responded to other peoples threads that I have been able to add something even if it just a different point of view. 


    I have also started a few threads of my own normally around topis where I have limited experience and I am looking to gain a better understanding.  An example would be a topic I started about the National Agreement for the Engineering and Construction Industry to which David responded and helped me to gain an insight into the weighty document that I had been presented with.


    I must admit that I do tend to skip some of the questions based around exam questions or coursework but I have no problem with them.  I myself did a distance learning course (Non-CIPD qualification) and it would have been nice to have a forum such as this to exchange ideas on or seek other viewpoints.


    I don't think that the communities need many changes but I do like the idea of an "i agree" button or something similar which may be useful as a guide to the support a response receives but I would not say that it is an indicator of accuracy.  I am sure we all know that employment law can be very grey at times which is the reason solicitors can make a lot of money!
