CIPD Members Survey 2018

I am just completing this and had to take a break!

What are other peoples opinions? On the form, content and length

Given that many HR professionals run opinion surveys in their own organisations how many would subject their organisations to this kind of depth of survey and expect to get a response?

Personally for me its far far too long, asks some pretty leading questions and I struggle to see the good needed coming from it

It could be I am just having a bad day - so colleagues - cheer me up have I got it all wrong on this one?

  • Peter Stanway, Elizabeth Divver, Gemma... 

    Apologies.

    From what I understand, there are a few possible reasons why you may not have received a personalised survey link:

    - our database may be out-of-date (e.g. we may have a work address where a member has since 'moved on')

    - some company firewalls may have prevented the email from even arriving

    - the email may be in your spam filter / folder

    - regrettably, we encountered an unexpected technical glitch when sending out the emails, which affected our Branch members specifically. This issue was rectified for the majority but some may still have missed out

    - email preferences may be set to 'opt out' of receiving emails from CIPD.

    If none of these apply to you let me know and I will get this resolved.

    Incidentally, the survey will now run until midnight on 18th October.

  • None of these apply to me, but I don't seem to have received the survey. Checked spam. Do not have a company firewall. I get other CIPD emails so it's not caused by an opt-out or wrong email address.
  • Actually I've just seen your post on the survey said it's only members in UK and Ireland. As I'm now living in the Falklands and that's recently been updated on the membership database, that might explain it.

    Shame though that us "international members" are being treated differently.
  • Hi Steve,

    Apparently my old work email was still down as my contact - even though I have updated this before when I changed jobs as I changed my work address and that seems to have saved.

    Hopefully this has saved properly this time
  • Hi Lesley, thanks for your feedback. We are certainly interested in the views of our international members, and will be looking to run a similar exercise as soon as we can. We recognise there are unique and varying needs for our international members, but their opinions are most certainly still as important to us. We made the decision to separate the two pieces of work, but we were unable to run them concurrently because of the size and nature of this type of work.
