What's good about this Community and how can we improve it?

Steve Bridger

Hello!

It's been a while since I asked such an open question to all of this wonderful community.

- what do you like about the Communities?

- what single thing can we improve?

- what gets your goat (I mean mean 'what', and not 'who')

- are you an 'answer' person? Why? what do you get out of it (and by the way, thank you for doing what you do)

- has the community helped you get stuff done, and make your life easier? 

- has the community helped you grow your network? Is that important to you? Are we friendly and welcoming?

- what would your #1 piece of advice be to those thinking about posting for the first time?

I'm not expecting you to answer these precise questions. They're simply a guide, a prompt... in case you need prompting :)  

I'm very keen to hear from as many of you as possible. 

Big caveat: I can't promise to implement any of your suggestions - you know, technology & resources and stuff. But I will listen. Listen well, and pass on your thoughts. And you never know. 

Feel free to email me directly at s.bridger@cipd.co.uk if you would prefer not to go public. On the other hand, I do encourage you to share your thoughts with your peers, below.

Thanks in advance!

  • Hi Steve,


    Very brave asking for feedback. I always flinch when I do that.


    However, on this occasion, no flinching required as I have nothing but good things to say.


    This forum is EXTREMELY useful.  I use it every day simply as a quick look at what is going on in other areas of HR, what are the concerns of my peers, and I without a doubt learn something new from this forum everyday. 


    I have asked questions on the forum a few times and the answers are always really helpful and useful (so thanks to everyone who's answered my stupid questions!).  Its invaluable to have a network of people in the same sort of position (with the experience to pool and help out) particularly as I am the lone-HR bod in my organisation.


    I do answer some of the queries (where I can and I where I think I might be vaguely useful) and in answering some of the posts have learned too, by checking what I think is the right answer against other websites (Berrs/ACAS/etc) so its a great learning experience either in the reading or the answering of the posts.


    Two pieces of advice for first time posters -


    1. have a search and a read through some of the older posts to see if your question has already been asked and answered. 


    2. I would say make sure you include as much relevant detail as possible so as to get the best response.


    Keep up the good work one and all!
