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

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 have only started using the communities since moving to a rather remote area of the country and therefore cannot network with my local branch etc. I find the forum invaluable for keeping up to date with whatever is the latest topic of interest in HR circles.  I would agree with Rachel that I learn a lot from other people's answers.  The reason I started chipping in with my twopence worth was for CPD purposes (since I am quite remote) but I found that I soon got hooked.  I do particularly like the contrasting viewpoints from different people - I feel that my views are rather down to earth and since I am in an operational role my advice is usually of a practical nature so it is always interesting to read a more academic/strategic answer/view sometimes.
