Increase
Productivity With Social Learning Software
Human
capital accounts for up to a third of business value in the new economy.
Yet neither IQ, nor technical expertise, predicts the return on that
capital as well as social-emotional abilities do. Interaction between
people is a prime factor in productivity, even in hard technology
companies. In fact, among software programmers, the difference in
productivity between average and highest performing engineers is 1600%.
Almost all of that difference can be attributed to social-emotional
factors.
Social
behavior is the key factor in compliance-related law suits. Social
behavior is also the most controllable factor scientifically demonstrated
to reduce illness and injury, and their attendant economic and social
costs to business.

Social
emotional abilities are essential
People
skills are the necessary lubricant to make social interaction easy
and effective. Learning how to operate a computer, or do financial
projections, is only part of the training workers need to succeed.
Social-emotional abilities - things like empathy and assertiveness
- are more linked to job success than IQ and technical expertise combined.
Most employee performance review objectives are directly or indirectly
tied to these core abilities.
An
example is empathy. One
component of empathy training is active listening. Sales people need
active listening, because it is directly connected to closing a sale.
Managers need it because it increases the likelihood that employees
will stay on the job. Engineers need it because it enables them to
function more successfully on teams.
And
they're learnable
These
abilities can be learned, but many Social Learning approaches don't
work. Until now, the ones that do have been costly and often come
too late to prevent serious problems. Group workshops often leave
workers exposed, or they're too touchy-feely to be taken seriously
by hard line managers.
