Effects of Social Learning
Social learning can break down work silos and create effective workflows to
accomplish organizational objectives, which represents changing an organizations
culture.
Through employees that are more competent and that share knowledge, organizations
are more capable of achieving objectives, possibly in less time and at higher quality
levels.
The Changing Role of The Educator
They must first research and then use social learning tools themselves in order to
employ them effectively.
They must work closely with other departments to create a social media policy to
guide employees on behavior using new tools.
Instructor objectives have not changed, but rather the methods to achieve them
have developed to offer new opportunities in training employees (Bozarth, 2010).
Social Media Policies and Accountability
Social media increases the availability of opportunities for employee
misbehavior (Opgenhaffen & Claeys, 2017). It is imperative for
organizations to establish social media policies to guide employees
(Johnston, 2015):
A set of social media policies must serve as a guide, specifying specifics of employee
behavior as they relate to the organization.
Encouraging collaboration between employees sets the stage for dialogue and
participation that improves interpersonal relationships (Wenger, 2000, p.
227).
Benefits and Challenges
Social learning consist of a group of learners who interact collaboratively to
develop their knowledge or expertise in order to achieve their goals (Yu-Chang &
Yu-Hui, 2012). This provides benefits:
Creates increased communication between employees.
Fosters innovation and creativity across department borders within an organization.
Increases employee competencies within their roles.
Captures knowledge from employees who are exiting the organization.
Improves an organizations competitiveness in the increasingly competitive global
marketplace (Yu-Chang & Yu-Hui, 2012).
