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!

  • Although I am not a regular poster I am an avid lurker and learn so much from the communities.  I find reading about the application of employment law and knowledge 10x more useful than sitting  with a text book or magazine article and the communities are the main way in which I develop my knowledge.


    I have the greatest respect for the regular contributors who take their time to share their knowledge and offer opinions and I am aware that I need to post more to make sure that I am giving back anywhere near as much as I am gaining.  I often sit and draft a post only to find that I have answered my own question in writing it down logically and don't need to press submit!  I am sometimes wary to post a response due to a lack of confidence in my ability to put it as well as somebody else.
