Navigating Brain Drain: Knowledge Management for the Public Sector
Having access to the right information at the right time can be critical – but constant turnover in government agencies makes it difficult for agencies to safeguard and share critical organizational knowledge. When a person leaves, they might take a wealth of information, experience, and relationships with them. A knowledge management system is one of the best ways to ensure that when team members leave, their invaluable institutional knowledge and key relationships don’t go with them.
Watch now the webinar on navigating brain drain and the importance of implementing a strategic knowledge management strategy.
You’ll learn:
The institutional risks of high turnover – and how a knowledge management system mitigates them
The best practices for retaining and transferring critical institutional knowledge
How to enhance the onboarding process and inter-team communications
