Knowledge erosion is a common problem in WFM deployments. The client deploys the software to huge initial success in the opening 6 months. Year 2 is steady; staff are enjoying their new cutting-edge technology but by year three turnover of staff has meant that gaps are appearing in expertise in several areas of the organisation. New staff are trained, second or even third hand by previous staff members, with each move leading to greater dilution of software user skills. Staff become frustrated with the technology and faith in the product begins to deteriorate. This leads to inaccurate system use and lack of engagement.
Perhaps you’re lucky enough to have avoided too much knowledge erosion so far but prevention is the best cure and it’s useful to keep on top of and up to speed with the current thinking and trends in the industry. To get an objective eye on your daily processes and any new problems you’re facing with someone outside the team who is familiar with exactly the types of challenges you’re experiencing. Our expertise can help you tighten up your operation and make improvements that help you get the best return on your WFM investment.
