Why should we connect our employees?
“Web 2.0 reduces distances.“
That is, it helps people to get to know each other also in big organizations.
New employees (usually full of enthusiasm) have the possibility to meet other people in the company, to discover their skills and passions, and maybe share them.
It is important to create “connections” among the employees, because only in this way will they be able to know more on their colleagues (maybe glancing through their blogs) and “understand who to ask” when they have a problem (maybe on a forum). If each time we find ourselves facing a new problem we had the possibility to verify if any of our colleagues has already had a similar experience, don’t you think that our productivity would increase?
It is only a matter of knowing whom to ask. Those who have already faced the problem would be happy to help us (here is the real importance of our job).
Knowing whom to ask and who needs help and sharing one’s experience are activities that those who are already using Web 2.0 tools know and take for granted, but that in many companies are still not granted at all.
