Good communication skills are NOT the same as people’s skills. Sometimes, these two types of skills don’t go hand in hand. An employee might be able to express their ideas and opinions clearly and properly but still fail to form connections with colleagues.

By documenting key processes, you can ensure that knowledge sharing becomes a reality.
