The more people do it, the most relevant and contextual knowledge they\u2019re gaining! Who better to share tips on selling a particular product than the person who\u2019s been there done it and got the t-shirt? And for creating a sense of value, worth and influence, there\u2019s nothing better than having your thoughts recognised and voice heard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of it as a two-way knowledge exchange where everyone\u2019s opinion matters equally, Typically junior members of a team might feel valuable, but they\u2019re digital natives and if they\u2019re given the platform to showcase that, they\u2019ll feel on par with everyone else!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Make learning less formal and more fun<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning should be enjoyable! If not, you\u2019ll have a hard time convincing people to do it. And doing it socially is a great way to pull it off. What sounds more appealing, a one-hour course where you sit there in silence and take notes or learning a new skill through a bit of back and forth with a peer? One\u2019s forced, but the other\u2019s more natural &#8211; it\u2019ll help people think out of the box too, driving more creative learning experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collecting feedback is a great way to capture that community essence, so encourage dialogue wherever you can. Whether that\u2019s surveys, live class or letting them comment on content. This is how you can get to know your people and their learning habits better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18281 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.liquid-themes.com\/hownow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Creating-social-learning-and-a-community-in-your-company.jpg\" alt=\"How to collect feedback and develop social learning\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.liquid-themes.com\/hownow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Creating-social-learning-and-a-community-in-your-company.jpg 960w, https:\/\/staging.liquid-themes.com\/hownow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Creating-social-learning-and-a-community-in-your-company-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Never lose valuable knowledge again<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s skills or knowledge that only one person understands, what happens when they leave your company? They take that with them! Worse than that, you lose time and productivity figuring it out all over again. Not when you learn socially, as it breaks knowledge out of those silos, ensures it\u2019s shared and captured before it\u2019s lost. We like to think of it as plugging a hole in your leaky bucket, and nobody likes a leaky bucket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Learning from the big guns on social learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HubSpot\u2019s quite a fun brand, so it probably wouldn\u2019t surprise you to know that people can hold voluntary sessions to share cake decorating tips. They also cover serious topics like Adobe Illustrator, but it\u2019s all up to the learner and session leader. It\u2019s a platform to show your skills above your standard role, a chance to have your voice heard and let others learn from your passions and expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harvard Business Review used social learning in their HBX CORe program, where peers are encouraged to ask and answer questions. In 90% of cases, the responses from peers were accurate, and the community aspect played a significant role in the 85% completion rate &#8211; far higher than any other online MOOC.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to encouragement engagement and adoption of social learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems stupid to say, but how many companies make sure they\u2019re letting people know about new projects and initiatives? Not too many, and even fewer do so at the point where employees can get involved or share their experiences. Being more transparent and inclusive will encourage others to get stuck in and raise their hand if it interests them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrating and sharing achievements is not only a great morale booster, it encourages people to share the process and tips that took them to this higher level. Whether that\u2019s a great resource, productivity hacks, an event they attended and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18282 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.liquid-themes.com\/hownow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Creating-social-learning-and-a-community-in-your-company-1.jpg\" alt=\"Why it's important to celebrate and share learning achievements\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.liquid-themes.com\/hownow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Creating-social-learning-and-a-community-in-your-company-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/staging.liquid-themes.com\/hownow\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Creating-social-learning-and-a-community-in-your-company-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning events are your friend here too. As they do at HubSpot, you can create sessions that help people share ideas, talk through topics or just get to know each other better. Ideas might include a book club, hackathons in which you try to \u2018break\u2019 the product and anonymous Q&amp;A\u2019s that let people speak unfiltered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If friendly competition\u2019s your thing, gamification might be up your street. Whether that\u2019s leaderboards to gain points or rewards for reaching certain targets, you create more motivation to progress. Highlighting your top learners falls perfectly into this, because they feel celebrated and others might feel inspired to reach that level in the next month or quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Got any questions?<\/h2>\n<p>We crammed a lot into that session and, to deliver on our promise of keeping it short and sweet, we didn&#8217;t take any questions!
