8 benefits of boosting employee generated learning

Companies are increasingly aware that the greatest treasure they have are their employees and their knowledge. In fact, in many companies, they are the ones in charge of creating and sharing knowledge, becoming authentic trainers on their own. This practice is called employee generated learning (EGL) and is absolutely essential in business training.

Étienne Wegner, educational theoretical, states:

“Knowledge management in companies will never be entirely effective if, in addition to owning it, we don’t create and use it correctly”.

The reason for this change of scenario is very simple. No one knows the internal procedures better, how they work and where the valuable information is to be found. Therefore, they are the most suitable people to create any tasks, procedures, areas, and products. Combining both profiles, the former’s and the employees’, will help you meet training objectives faster and more effectively, reinforcing your organizational culture, as well as many other aspects of your company. Here are the most important points to consider.
