Now that we are aggressively cost-cutting and looking for ways to avoid additional expenses, training is an obvious area to reassess. An article by David Wilkins suggests there are three general approaches using social networking and other Web 2.0 technologies.
- Embedding social media inside online training so that learners can collaborate, discuss, etc. during training
- Making social media available to all learners so that they can discuss and comment on classes available in the organization
- Create communities designed to facilitate learning independent of any formal online training
This third option provides an inexpensive way to transfer knowledge and expertise, especially if there are no existing formal courses. Communities are also quick to put together to meet a tight deadline in your project. You still have to make sure it is managed properly in order to get the results you desire, and has been noted in a previous post, your training specialists may not have the expertise. Find an expert in using social networking in learning.
An update on my last post: Mass layoffs (those that involve at least 50 workers) increased more than 50% in January. The industry with the highest number of unemployment claims? Temporary Help Services. Have you lost temporary help?
