Employee Turnover
Today's workforce is changing at an alarming pace due to high employee turnover,
downsizing, mergers, constant restructuring, and the impending retirement of
the baby boom generation. This describes the following:
Challenges
When employees leave, their knowledge, experiences, and know-how usually leave
with them.
Organizations need to find ways to
- capture employee knowledge and best practices,
and
- ensure that they are shared and used throughout the workplace
Solution
Information Mapping Canada helps organizations
- uncover and address the gaps
between their information goals and their current knowledge transfer
practices
- support new tools and technologies with process and cultural changes,
and
- populate these tools and technologies with high-quality structured
content.
Results
With effective processes, techniques, and standards in place for capturing
and transferring knowledge and best practices, organizations can
- retain valuable
knowledge and experiences when workers leave
- implement changing policies
and procedures easily across the organization
- bring new workers up to speed
more quickly, and
- find and use existing knowledge easily when needed.
