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!

  • I echo most of the comments on here already. This forum is a great place to share your experiences and dilemmas and gain advice and suggestions from others who have been in similar situations. As I too work in a stand alone role, this resource is an unvaluable way to seek input from colleagues.


    Sometimes it just confirms to me I am doing the right thing. Sometimes it helps me come up with solutions to my challenges and other times it is just comforting to know other people are out there dealing with the same dramas and situations I am.


    I am very grateful to the core ban of contributors who are always willing to share their views. The threads often turn into a good old debate of all the pros and cons of a a course of action, it's just like sitting in a university workshop.


    I do like to answer, but often find others have already respresented my perspective, or that a thread is quite old and an answer no longer sought.


     My advice to first time posters, be clear about context and specifics, clearly tmark your thread in a topic area and have patience waiting for people to respond. It takes a while sometimes but I have never been ignored.


     Thanks, Rachel
