Learning

The way people learn is changing. Employees are increasingly comfortable with social technologies in all aspects of their lives and expect to have similar tools at work. Employers who wish to have a competitive edge will tap into the natural, social learning styles and interactions of their employees, increasing knowledge retention and productivity.

SuccessFactors Jam makes this happen by drawing on the concepts of popular Web 2.0 tools like YouTube and Facebook to offer easy content creation, sharing, discovery and social networking combined with workplace communities.

SuccessFactors Jam scales informal learning across your organization

In the office we generally know what the people nearest us are working on. When we need help, intuitively we know whom to ask. We run into trouble when the experts are not nearby which is common at companies large and small and those spread across multiple locations and time zones.

Jam solves this in three steps. First, by making it incredibly easy for experts to create content and share documents, expertise becomes available to everyone in the Jam network. Second, Jam's powerful social discovery technologies - including activity feeds and following, tags, most viewed, most liked, featured content, and of course search, - allow other employees to find the expert or content they need, when they need it. And third, your Jam network is where your employees are, global and mobile.

Jam improves formal, instructor-led training

By adding a Jam community around each class, both virtual and traditional classrooms, you'll improve the return on your learning investment. With Jam, not only is document distribution a snap (even from SharePoint), but learners do pre-work and discuss the concepts before, during and after the class, greatly improving retention.

As part of the BizX suite, Jam is integrated with SuccessFactors Learning, so you can use videos, screen recording, wikis, blogs, polls - in your formal and blended training programs. The return? Learning retention and speed to performance is increased, while overall learning costs can be decreased.
