The Transfer of Knowledge Is More Important than Ever
Organizations effective at transferring knowledge from one generation to the next have seamless generational teamwork, are more profitable, and enjoy a culture of staff well-being.
The successful transfer of knowledge and ideas from one generation to the next can have a big impact on an organization’s bottom line.
According to a recent study by online job search site Zippia, companies that prioritize knowledge transfer are 4.5 times more likely to have highly engaged employees. Additionally, knowledge transfer can lead to a roughly 25 percent increase in productivity and a 35 percent decrease in employee turnover.
“It’s hard to find, employ, and keep people, so the knowledge they have that makes them successful is really critical,” said Tracy Brower, a sociologist who studies the future of work and the author of “The Secrets to Happiness at Work.”
