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!

  • Hi Mark,


    That is not what I meant at all. The web team (in particular Johanna) are particularly receptive to ideas and certainly from my experience do listen to members. My comment was meant tongue in cheek... hence the smiley...


    As for your comment about DPA, Johanna did in effect ask for people to contact here giving permission. As it happens in Appendix A of the site T&C's it says:



    "... Any content added or submitted by you to the Community remains your intellectual property. By adding or submitting content to the Community you grant CIPD an unrestricted worldwide licence to publish the material on this website..."


    So not a massive step to what is being asked, sure it does not say ok to use in printed material - but again Johanna asked if people minded one way or another - I guess it will be taken that your contributions to this thread you do not wish considered?
