Bottom Line Learning
Informal learning can help organizations in several ways: it can increase sales and worker productivity by 20-30% by improving product knowledge; it can transform struggling organizations into very profitable ones; and it can generate new ideas to drive innovation. Fostering informal learning also reduces stress, absenteeism and healthcare costs for employees. Case studies show benefits such as unlocking worker potential, improving professional growth, boosting responsiveness and morale, and keeping up with technological changes. The document advocates for breakthrough performance through informal learning rather than just acceptable results.
