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

  • I've been a bit an infrequent visitor as of late, looking at how the community has developed seemed like it was going in the right direction, however scratch beneath the surface and I'm left with "what is going on?" Looking at Community Feedback it has become a drop-in centre for all sorts of questions, am I right in thinking that the majority of these posts are by non-members who don't have access to to the relevant sections of the community? Bit cheeky if that is what is happening, maybe time to cull the posts? However, I have just been reading a thread about using agencies, and then found out it had been posted in Employment Law! How is anyone meant to find these discussions if people are that clueless that they can't figure out where to post! To quote the late Dr Ted Johns "Do these people really want to work in HR?!"
