Creating a knowledge base and new-hire training program that your employees can use and trust isn’t easy. Whether you are starting from scratch or revamping existing guides and resources, you have a long to-do list ahead of you. So, you want to get it right from the get-go.

That’s where the Find & Follow Workshop comes in.

During this workshop, we help you and your team align on employee responsibilities, and determine what resources you need to create to best support employees.

1

Identify the transactions and questions

First, we’ll work with your team to identify the “triggers'' or moments where end-users require support. What questions do users have? What transactions are they performing? What policies or procedures are they required to follow?

Some example triggers include:

  • When an employee needs to look up a policy
  • When an employee needs to look up information 
  • Transactions where employees need to follow a procedure 
  • Events that occur that require an employee to respond

Evaluate content

2

Review and evaluate existing content and resources

The next step is understanding your current content landscape. Together we’ll create a list of all the content you already have documented. Then we’ll evaluate that content for usefulness and accuracy.

At the end of this step, we’ll know exactly what needs to be updated and who is in charge of doing so.

Evaluate content
Spot gaps

3

Identify which questions or transactions are missing resources

Based on step one and step two, we’ll now be able to easily identify where our content gaps are. A gap is considered a question or transaction a rep has that does not have a resource documented.

Spot gaps
Create plan

Create a clear plan of action for creating and maintaining your knowledge base content

At the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with a content plan that identifies the following:

  • Which resources exist and are ready for your knowledge base
  • Which resources need to be edited
  • Which resources need to be created
  • Who is responsible
  • When they will be completed

What our customers are saying about our Find & Follow Workshop

"It's very clear why our training and onboarding was such a struggle before [Find & Follow]. We never identified all the things employees did, so we couldn't create a program to help them do it."

"The workshop was such a revelation to me as a trainer. It was great to get this clarity from supervisors and front-line employees about what they needed."

"The workshop has given us so much clarity on what employees need from a training perspective."

"Getting this report is huge for our team. I'm so excited to create a single-source of truth that can help employees handle all of these different situations."

"The workshop has given us a lot of hope that we can finally develop an onboarding plan that works."
