So our next topic is on the Barriers for Implementing Knowledge
Management Process in an Organization. The key to any successful knowledge management system is knowing its limitations.
Conceptual Issues include -
Dependency on knowledge contributors, creating confusion among managers and employees, and the mishandling of valuable company information.
Failure to use company knowledge properly can lead to a great
loss of time, resources and even organizational failure.
Finding ways to efficiently capture and record business knowledge
Making information and resources easier to find.
Operational Issues include -
Motivating people to share, reuse and apply knowledge
consistently
Aligning knowledge management with the overall goals and
business strategy

Here are the examples of knowledge management in HR
1. Role-Based Access Control and Customizable
Permissions A major benefit of HR knowledge management is allowing employees to find and access the information they need without the assistance of HR.Implementing proper permissions and role- based access controls mitigates this issue. This is important from a practical business perspective in that not every employee should be able to see all of a company’s available HR documents, policies, and agreements.
2. Improve Onboarding New Employees
Employee onboarding can make or break a new employee’s experience. Onboarding packets are helpful, but they’re easily misplaced and cumbersome for HR to update.
Moving employee onboarding to the HR knowledge management
platform makes it easy for HR to add new information and update existing information as needed. By simplifying the HR portion of new employee onboarding, organizations can improve the employee experience, reduce onboarding time, and minimize onboarding inefficiency costs.
3. Spend Less Time Recreating Existing Knowledge
An HR employee may recreate a document that already exists because they don’t know about it or can’t find it. A well organized HR knowledge management platform makes it easy for teams (even dispersed ones) to know exactly what exists and what really needs to be created.
4. Get the Information You Need Sooner (and with
Fewer Headaches) With one HR team servicing an entire organization, simple questions easily get lost in the daily grind, leaving the employee waiting. An HR knowledge management system removes this obstacle almost entirely.
With good platform organization and proper role-based access
controls in place, all employees can get the information they’re seeking faster and easier without having to wait on HR.
