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 find the communities very helpful in giving me reassuring information and places to start on complex issues.  I benefit from both the experience of wise owls and also bright ideas from colleagues on what they might do in my place.   


     Can you improve the CPD record link?  Why can't we link a question we asked or answered directly to our accounts rather than clicking the button and having to do about 3 more clicks then get a blank record up and faff about recreating the data?  A link to your post or the thread, to which reflections can then be linked in your CPD log would be far better.  At the moment I can't understand the value of the "save in your cpd record" button. 


     Can we also have some expert moderators who can answer questions, providing some content expertise?  I currently post mostly in the International pages and I don't see the CIPD as an organisation providing expert responses or help there.  I think the institute could do more for members with international roles or responsibilities as we are increasingly expected to deal with global employee communities. 


    Also, what about extracting data such as weblinks people suggest etc to add more content to the CIPD webpages on topics?
