This document discusses the findings of research into how employees find information and share knowledge within organizations. Some key findings include:
- Employees only use about 38% of their knowledge and skills at work and feel they could contribute more if they knew how.
- Knowledge sharing and finding expertise is challenging - employees spend about a month each year searching for information and over half feel they can't easily find what they need.
- When employees leave, they typically only document about a third of their knowledge, wasting valuable expertise for the organization.
- Connecting employees to each other's knowledge and expertise could help reduce wasted time searching, increase productivity, and prevent valuable knowledge from being lost when people depart.
This document discusses how technological advances in the workplace are intensifying issues with human resource management by creating personal disconnects despite increased connections. It argues that implementing strategies to improve social skills, identify blind spots, gather feedback, and eliminate blind spots can help develop human resources in a more sustainable way. Specifically, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining meaningful personal relationships through open communication and spending time with colleagues to understand how one is perceived and improve interpersonal skills for successful human resource management.

Doing Sourcing Right Requires Pipelining discusses the importance of talent pipelining for companies. It notes that traditional applicant tracking systems (ATS) are not well-suited for tracking pre-applicant talent leads over long periods of time. While pipelining is seen as a strategic priority, most organizations take an ad-hoc approach to it. LinkedIn Talent Pipeline aims to address this challenge by providing a centralized system for tracking, engaging, and maintaining relationships with talent leads on an ongoing basis directly within the LinkedIn Recruiter platform.

Strategic HR: Fostering Employee Engagement via Enterprise 2.0 Technologies &...Allyis
Ethan Yarbrough discusses how organizations can foster employee engagement through enterprise technologies and strategic HR practices. He defines engagement as employees feeling involved and enthusiastic about their work. Highly engaged workforces outperform others by 20-28% and increase profits and operating margins. However, most employees are only "up for grabs" and not strongly committed. Barriers to engagement include information overload, lack of respect, distance between employees, and lack of trust in leadership. Yarbrough argues that technology tools can help by giving employees ways to share expertise, make themselves heard, find and connect with others, and be more successful. Strategic HR should focus on improving the employee experience and making the organization a better place to work through these engagement

The survey conducted among 102 HR professionals in Finnish organizations found that:
1) Most HR departments are not fully utilizing social networking and collaboration tools, with only 16% having HR software that allows communities, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
2) Succession planning and workforce analytics capabilities are limited, with over half unable to identify employee expertise and most not using networks to find successors.
3) Learning and development can be improved, as only 38% encourage employee-generated content and 29% lack technologies for peer-to-peer learning.
The survey concludes that Finnish companies need to better adopt social and collaborative HR technologies to attract and develop talent, accelerate on-boarding, and improve key HR processes in

The Case Against Splitting HR: How to Become a True Strategic AdvisorHuman Capital Media
With recent articles like Harvard Business Review’s “It’s Time to Split HR,” written by world-renowned business adviser and author Ram Charan, and BersinInsights’ “Will HR Lose the Battle Over Analytics,” written by industry analyst Karen O’Leonard, 2015 represents a pivotal year for human resources as we know it today. The global economic recovery, compounded by demographic shifts, is moving power from employers to employees, turning labor into a seller’s market. As a result, the workforce is becoming an increasingly core strategic consideration to businesses.
Join workforce intelligence expert Dave Weisbeck as he discusses how HR can play a more critical role driving business performance than ever before. In this informative and visionary webinar, Weisbeck will discuss:
The case for and against splitting HR.
External factors driving the demand for HR to play a more strategic role in the business.
How HR can re-skill and overcome the barriers to adopting a data-driven culture.
The future of HR as a strategic advisor.
HR success stories: Examples of strategic HR.
Social software lets employees connect and share in new ways, and can dramatically improve the effectiveness of your organization. But social technologies like microblogging, social networking, automated activity feeds, social spreadsheets, wikis, etc. are new to most organizations, and most IT departments don’t have experience with how to successfully implement them.
Success with social software involves a lot more than simply finding the product that best fits your needs. It involves framing the problem appropriately in the first place, defining your business goals, and choosing a rollout methodology designed to meet those goals. It involves selling your CFO, changing behavior across your organization, and more.
This paper is designed to help you learn from the mistakes of others before you, so you can avoid the common pitfalls of social software, and get fast business value.
According to Gartner, 70% of social implementations fail because they lack a business purpose. When it comes to harnessing the power of social software, a focus on business value is required. This whitepaper defines a strategic framework for gaining business value from social software. It outlines six successful rollout strategies. Each of the six approaches delivers different business results, and has a different level of risk. And most importantly, each has different requirements to succeed. To be successful with social software, you need to choose the rollout strategy that is best for your organization, and understand its requirements for success.
Many large companies are moving away from annual performance reviews that rank employees and instead focusing on more frequent, informal conversations about performance and development. Research shows this approach improves employee engagement and conversation quality. It works best when companies provide frameworks for regular check-ins, ensure conversations focus on the future, and support the transition through training and messaging. Going forward, some companies are exploring building a culture where employees regularly ask for feedback rather than just receiving it.
This document summarizes a roundtable discussion about breaking down silos between primary research and platform analytics teams within organizations. Key discussion points included that 1) traditional organizational structures designed for the industrial age are preventing companies from leveraging all of their data, 2) there is often overinvestment in technology but underinvestment in developing employee skills, and 3) creating a truly data-driven culture requires openness, collaboration, and experimentation across departments beyond just research and analytics. The roundtable participants explored how blending skills and exposing employees to different business functions can help companies overcome data silos.
Due Diligence Methodology by Human Value InternationalManofthetaste
Human Value International provides organizational network analysis to uncover informal networks within companies and identify key people and relationships. The analysis uses employee surveys to map information and knowledge sharing networks. It then generates multi-dimensional profiles of employees and groups. This helps companies develop individual and organizational improvement plans by understanding informal structures and dynamics. The methodology is based on biological neural networks and models how people behave in organizations. It provides advantages over traditional hierarchical analysis by mapping actual collaboration and influence patterns.
IT talent is in high demand but short supply, making recruitment and retention a challenge. While most companies have not increased salaries to keep pace with the market, those that offer higher pay see benefits like reduced turnover rates and fewer open positions. One example showed a company that increased salaries by 10% experienced $800,000 in annual cost savings from lower turnover and vacancies compared to a company that did not raise pay.

Globalization, generational shifts, new attitudes towards work and the consumerization of IT are driving business leaders to reconsider the best ways to recruit, train and manage their precious talent. These changes in the way people work are an opportunity to put employees at the center of the business strategy, create a destination for employee collaboration and mobilize talent to deliver bottom-line results. To create a work environment where employees are encouraged and given the resources to learn, share, be engaged in their work and perform at their very best.
The document discusses how skills shortages constrain business growth and how increasing employee proficiency through an intelligent workplace can help address this issue. It defines an intelligent workplace as a next-generation intranet that delivers relevant insights to employees by gathering information from across systems, understanding context, and recommending related content. The document provides steps for designing an intelligent workplace using intelligent search capabilities, including indexing information from across systems, delivering proactive insights in context, integrating knowledge into work flows, and leveraging collective workforce wisdom for predictive insights.
You know your employees are the lifeblood of your company but if not properly motivated, they can end up sucking the life out of your company. Unhappy employees cost companies over half a billion dollars in lost productivity.

Getting Through the Fear Factor When Hiring Tech Talents.pdfaNumak & Company
The more profound constraint is a further factor in making a perfect selection when hunting for tech talents. While recruiters are focused and determined on hiring competent candidates for vacant spaces, they should also consider reducing strictness in the process, for example, the years of experience and compulsory finished education level. Since the American survey tells that most candidates' educational backgrounds are not in-line with their experience because they acquire knowledge of other skills while holding a post.
Perhaps, since these candidates are well experienced, they should be considered, while employers cut down a little to test their knowledge.
Addressing the Top IT Hiring Challenges | WhitepaperACTIVE Network
This document discusses the challenges facing IT hiring managers. It outlines 7 primary challenges: 1) finding candidates with required hard and soft skills due to lack of training opportunities; 2) convincing employed candidates to change jobs; 3) complexities of using social media for recruiting; 4) decreasing effectiveness of online job boards; 5) inefficient hiring processes that can last over 2 months; 6) misaligned salary expectations as candidates demand higher pay; and 7) hiring managers having insufficient time for recruiting. The document provides details on each challenge and cites research supporting the increasing difficulties in IT hiring.
This document discusses how companies can address skills shortages by creating an intelligent workplace that enhances employee proficiency. It recommends focusing on proficiency over efficiency by giving employees access to insights from across a company's information systems. An intelligent workplace powered by intelligent search can index all this disparate information, understand employee contexts, and deliver relevant insights proactively. It explains how to design such a workplace with intelligent search by putting all information at employees' fingertips, delivering contextual insights, integrating knowledge sharing into workflows, and using analytics and machine learning to provide predictive insights.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of HR directors in the manufacturing sector on trends in 2019. Some of the main findings include:
- 64% of respondents felt their current workforce was engaged, while 36% saw opportunities to improve engagement. Capturing why employees leave was important to build retention strategies.
- 86% could capture reasons for why employees leave their organizations, with top reasons being lack of vision, recognition, development opportunities, and failure to listen.
- 54% reviewed employee performance once a year, but there is a shift toward more frequent, collaborative reviews for improved feedback and engagement.

Driving business value with Organisational Network AnalysisDavid Green
A copy of my slides from the inaugural SHRM Tech EMEA conference held in Dubai from 24-25 February. The brief from my speech on how companies are using Organisational Network Analysis to identify insights that drive business value is below.
BRIEF
People analytics is increasingly being used by companies to help provide insights that drive performance, productivity and innovation as well as employee experience and collaboration. Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) is at the fulcrum of much of these efforts and is a technique that many analytics and HR professionals want to learn more about. In his presentation, David will present research, case studies and guidance covering both active and passive data sources that will help demystify ONA and demonstrate how in combination with people analytics it can help improve both business outcomes and employee experience.
The document summarizes key findings from a survey of HR professionals in the manufacturing sector on trends in 2019. Some of the main findings include:
- 64% of respondents felt their workforce was engaged, while 36% saw room for improvement in engagement. Capturing why employees leave was important for retention.
- 86% could track why employees leave, with top reasons being lack of vision, appreciation, and development opportunities.

The document summarizes key findings from a survey of HR professionals in the manufacturing sector on trends in 2019. Some of the main findings include:
- 64% of respondents felt their workforce was engaged, while 36% saw room for improvement in engagement. Capturing why employees leave was important for retention.
- 86% could track why employees leave, with top reasons being lack of vision, appreciation, and development opportunities.
- 54% reviewed employee performance once a year, while there is a shift towards more frequent, collaborative reviews.
- Over 80% heavily relied on recruitment agencies, despite potential for cost savings through in-house recruiting using applicant tracking systems.
This document provides a three-step guide for companies to get more value from their data and analytics. The three steps are:
1. Map your needs - Create a customized map of your business goals, assets, data, and skills gaps. This helps identify what is most important.
2. Assess your team - Measure your teams' analytics knowledge and skills to benchmark against your needs. Relevant testing is critical for planning training.
3. Train your people - Train your teams based on the gaps identified between your needs and their current skills. Off-the-shelf solutions often don't address specific company needs.

Predicting potential - Assessing Cognitive Ability in RecruitmentGavin Lamb
Employees with strong cognitive ability are a competitive advantage to an organisation - particularly when they are in
roles that require quick learning, first-time problem solving, thinking ‘on your feet’ and dealing with ambiguity. People who
score well on cognitive ability tests are more likely to develop a greater knowledge of the job more quickly, make effective
decisions and successfully reason and strategise to solve problems. In fact, a landmark study reviewed 85 years of research and found that higher cognitive ability is linked with higher productivity and performance.
A swarm organization allows anyone in the organization to pick from a list of important initiatives and begin working on them immediately based on their skills and interests. This approach promotes rapid collaboration and responsiveness. Key benefits of a swarm organization include speed of execution, cost-effectiveness by utilizing existing resources, cross-functional collaboration bringing diverse perspectives together, and inclusion by giving everyone the opportunity to contribute. Success requires open communication, clear roles, collaboration platforms, measuring results, and learning from experiences.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

2. FUTURE OF WORK RESEARCH: CONNECTING THE KNOW-HOW, SKILLS AND EXPERTISE WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To better understand how the Future of Work impacts organizational and employee
productivity in particular related to know-how, expertise and innovation exchanges,
we canvassed the opinions of more than 1000 knowledge workers in the US and
UK. Our Future of Work Research explores how employees find the information
needed to do their jobs, how enterprises are making use of the intellectual property
within their organizations and what can be done to facilitate greater information
and knowledge sharing.
Harvard Business Review also warns against the expanding organizational silos
influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the switch to remote work: “employees
increased their communication with close collaborators by 40% but at a cost
of 10% less communication with other colleagues1
.” With a sea of information
at our disposal, it has never been more critical for knowledge workers2
to gain
access to the right insight and intelligence. Today as much as 80% of a business’s
knowledge remains undocumented3
: It is not recorded in a document, internal
communication tool, process or procedure, but exists in an employee’s mind. This
expansive collection of human intelligence, skills and expertise represents one of
the most powerful, yet untapped, resources available to global enterprises.
OUR RESEARCH FINDINGS SHOWED
Employees are spending a disproportionate amount of time hunting for the
information, expertise and know-how they need to do their jobs effectively. At the
same time, individuals are failing to use all of their knowledge and seeking more
opportunities to share their know-how and skills in the workplace.
Put simply, connecting the know-how of all employees within an organization
is a pre-requisite to breaking down knowledge silos, enhancing the employee
experience and increasing business productivity.
Here’s what we found
Respondents believe they use just over
a third (38%) of their knowledge and
expertise at work on a daily basis
83% feel happier at work when they are
sharing knowledge and helping others
61% of people can’t easily find the
information and answers they need to
do their jobs effectively
Employees are spending one working
month every year searching for
information
53% feel invisible in their organization
Over half of employees have left a
job due to not having access to the
knowledge they need to work effectively

Widening organizational silos threatens business
productivity and innovation
3. FUTURE OF WORK RESEARCH: CONNECTING THE KNOW-HOW, SKILLS AND EXPERTISE WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION
Empowering people in organizations to make better and faster
decisions by utilizing the wealth of knowledge at their disposal
is a prerequisite to success for all businesses - particularly large
enterprises who have disparate teams, spread globally. Yet the
average employee uses just 38% of their knowledge and expertise
at work—meaning organizations are failing to adequately unlock
even half of the intellectual capital and brainpower of their people.
“Too much intellectual brainpower and expertise is
underutilized, posing a huge challenge for enterprises.
Failing to find, unlock and share knowledge effectively
not only leads to a duplication of work and time wasted
but makes brain drain a real threat. Organizations need to
harness the power of their team’s collective intelligence
and give employees on-demand access to the information
they need to excel in their job and solve problems quickly.”
Marc Vontobel, CEO, Starmind
As digital-savvy millennials and Gen Z’s become a growing force
in the workplace, they bring with them a greater propensity for
collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Organizations have an
opportunity to capitalize on this willingness to share expertise
and intelligence to open the door to greater productivity and fast
track employee’s career development and satisfaction.

4. FUTURE OF WORK RESEARCH: CONNECTING THE KNOW-HOW, SKILLS AND EXPERTISE WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION
Wasting time on low-value activities is entrenched in the fabric of modern
work. Exacerbated by siloed teams and the sheer volume of information spread
across different applications, platforms and people, we’re wasting more time
than ever before searching for answers, information and know-how.
According to our research, employees are spending around one (working)
month (26 days) each year searching for information, knowledge and the right
expertise within their organization. Of the respondents, 62% said they could not
easily find the information and answers needed to do their jobs effectively, over
half avoid asking questions because they don’t know who to approach or where
to get the right answer and 51% feel it’s not clear where they should be going
for information.
Not being able to quickly and efficiently access organizational intelligence has
a huge potential impact on productivity. Employees end up duplicating work
or spending time searching for answers someone else has already found,
meanwhile there is a wealth of business intel that could be lost entirely when
teams evolve or talent leaves. Furthermore, firms face the challenge of costs
associated with lagging innovation, missed opportunities and prolonged
projects because they are unable to identify key resources and contributors or
easily facilitate cross-functional team collaboration.

potential in solving business problems. Adopting a system that makes it
possible for organizational experts to be easily found and leveraged can
supercharge productivity, innovation and career development. From saving
working hours, reducing duplication and facilitating faster career progression to
enabling better problem solving and reducing mistakes, it will help crowdsource
company intelligence to unlock the potential of the entire enterprise.

6. FUTURE OF WORK RESEARCH: CONNECTING THE KNOW-HOW, SKILLS AND EXPERTISE WITHIN YOUR ORGANIZATION
As competition for skills widens, the typical avenues
for sourcing talent will become increasingly elusive
and cost prohibitive. As a result, leveraging skills and
expertise in-house is fast becoming one of the most
important components of enterprise strategy—and
one which can deliver the biggest pay-off.
But one major hurdle remains. Too often, employee
skills are not known, not searchable, not shared and
underutilized—meaning enterprises have little to no
understanding of the company’s current skills profile,
where the gaps lie and how to prioritize the right skills
development in-house.
Technology can help fill that void. Gartner has
predicted that 70% of organizations will implement AI
to assist employee productivity by 2021 to save 6.2bn
hours. And there are clear signs that Al will define
the next generation of SaaS, allowing organizations
to not only connect employees to each other, but
help them better access their skills and knowledge
to work more effectively. Approached right, AI can
support career development and skill augmentation.
