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 would concur with Mike's comments about being having the confidence to post. The CIPD wants us all to be "thinking performers" which means we all need to have an opinion on what we're doing. Others may disagree, and none of us gets it right the whole time, but it's through dialogue that we can shape and understand our approach.


    I too like the debates and think we have a lot more potential around these as people become more confident.


    Which reminds me, Steve, an early CIPD idea was to use these communities as a way of seeking feedback from members to inform responses to government consultations. What happened to that one?


    Kind regards
