With talent more coveted than ever, the benefits
of knowledge management and retention are clear:
• Greater ability to maintain effectiveness even as
employees retire or move on
• More confidence and loyalty from employees as
the company shows its trust in them and the
important role their knowledge has toward
company-wide success
• Deeper bonds between employees
• A happier, more connected workplace that can
lead to more talent wanting to work there and
less talent looking to leave
• A better overall sense of what makes the com-
pany successful, where gaps in talent exist and a
greater ability to develop long-term talent plans
