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!

  • Personally I don't think I could do my job as nearly as effectively without the postings - I visit every day and enjoy reading the more 'quirkier' questions (things that are not necessarily in a text book!).  I appreciate the regular contributors and do have my favourites - and am very grateful that they take their time to contribute their knowledge and expertise.


     Its also useful learning differing opinions and reading the heated debates that sometimes take place!


    I am with Leanne and sometimes lack confidence when posting an answer - as I don't want to put myself 'out there' for fear of reprisal, but do take on board Mike's comments.


    As for my pet hate - finding a posting that seems to answer my query and which also seems to have had a lot of responses - only to find lists and lists of people to be responding to a kind offer to supply a policy, document etc etc.  grrrrrrr!


    Keep up the good work!


    PS - wasn't even sure how the 'tagging' system worked but will definitely find out more and try to use it in the future.
