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!

  • I must admit that I do enjoy seeking the opinions of others through the communities as it is good to get an often varied viewpoint or confirmation from other HR professionals.  I have formed some really good networking with other HR people as a direct result of this facility.


    One thing that I personally would find beneficial would be on the list of all discussions that the date of the last entry was easily visible. And the only thing that slightly irritates me is the fact that when someone contacts you you can't reply direct to them but instead it takes you back to a private post instead.  Have found that people have contacted me and when I respond back and provide my direct contact details they often don't get back to me - although that may be due to the users as opposed to the system itself.  I did much prefer the old system where it allowed people to email you direct, but I understand that this system is possibly in place to protect our personal (i.e. email) information.


    Have just come from maternity leave and did miss looking at the postings but unfortunately did not have time to read any as my priorities were somewhat different!  So I am looking forward to reading/contributing in the future......
