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!

    Megan, I understand your point about raising expectations, but I also think there are lots of things we as community users can do to improve things without CIPD intervention.


    For example I would love more people to give a bit of info about themselves in their profile. When someone posts a question it can be useful to give a more context specific answer depending on where they work, what their specialism is etc. I often click on view profile to find no information has been provided.


    I would also like to see photos for eveyone, just cos I'm curious (one of my Seligmann Signature Strengths!) and like looking at faces.


    On the negative side, I'm one of those people who annoys Mike by not always tagging. I confess this is because sometimes the key words to use are not immediately obvious to me. I also assume that if a key word has already been used in this thread my contribution will be found when the searcher reaches the thread anyway so no need to re-use the same tags. Am I wrong in this?


    Kind regards
