His great piece shines a light on four key areas you should focus on when looking to increase your employee development internally:

  •       Ensure the content is easy to consume
  •       Let different teams collaborate
  •       Keep the base up to date

 

The Benefits of a Knowledge Base

 

Saravana's main takeaway:

"Building an external knowledge base for customers is a great way to enhance their experience by enabling self-service (and to reduce support costs). For this reason, many companies create a knowledge base packed with FAQs, product documentation, how-to guides, and feature updates for their users or customers. An up-to-date internal knowledge base improves employee productivity and collaboration and supports their continuous development. It requires an investment of time and effort, but if you put these tips into practice, you’ll quickly realize the returns on your investment in terms of happier, more effective employees and better business results."
