What would make this Community easier for you to use?

Hello.

We know that the Community platform has not been as stable as we'd have liked since December (which we're continually working to improve)... but looking beyond the technology... we'd welcome your insight to help us identify how we might make your use of this site easier and more useful to you.

In the first instance, please respond to the three questions below by hitting REPLY.

  1. What was the main reason you visited the CIPD Community today?
  2. What information or help needs to be clearer to first-time users of the Community?
  3. What ONE change to the Community would make it easier for you to use?

You can always send comments to me at: s.bridger@cipd.co.uk as well... but comments here are always good (especially as others can 'Like' your posts, which might also give us a sense of 'weight of feeling', etc.)

We're listening.

Thank you for your time

  • 1. What was the main reason you visited the CIPD Community today?
    Keep up to date with posts I am following and seeing if there are any new ones that interest me.

    2. What information or help needs to be clearer to first-time users of the Community?
    Sticky post outlining the ins and outs (including search), do's and don'ts

    3. What ONE change to the Community would make it easier for you to use?
    Make the messaging system more reliable - many of my extended exchanges have had to be via private e-mail.

  • What was the main reason you visited the CIPD Community today?
    Like others I have a perpetual (perhaps even morbid!) curiosity about what people may have posted about - intriguing dilemmas and cases. There's always sensible pragmatic advice on here coupled with a grounding in legislation and best practice.

    What information or help needs to be clearer to first-time users of the Community?
    Not to do multiple posts about the same thing? For students - don't post your assignments without having thought it through first. Also (for all users) how to search successfully for previous posts about similar topics.

    What ONE change to the Community would make it easier for you to use?
    I never know whether to reply to the original post or the latest reply! This may say something about my technical competence rather than the Community...
