Benefits Of Knowledge Sharing In Your Team (And, How To Do It?)

Do you know that we spend at least 20% of our time finding the right information or right person in our company. 20% means, 1 day every week is wasted on just finding the right information or right person. This can amount to hundredsof thousands or millions of dollar losses for your company (depending on your team size and hourly rate of your people).

Why are people not finding the right information at the right time? 2 main reasons –

(1) A lot of knowledge is sitting in people’s head. They are not sharing it with the team members because there are no good tools to share knowledge within the company. Worse, there is no motivation for people to share the knowledge. In fact, often times they fear that they’ll lose their advantage by giving away their knowledge.

(2) Existing tools don’t have good search and recommendation features. Search results are very irrelevant and there is no proactive recommendation of the relevant content.

 ProudFolio is one such great platform thatmakes it easy and promotes knowledge sharing in your team. Read on to learn how this platform can help you and your team.

Managers also get visibility into who is sharing the most useful knowledge, who is being the most helpful person. This way, managers can reward the right behavior and right people.

4. We all know that Videos and Pictures are at least 1,000 times more effective than words. But sharing private videos within the team has its own technical challenges- large files, having codecs for different devices etc. ProudFolio completely takes care of these technical complexities.
