Social networking has become a major part of how people interact both personally and professionally. Over 70% of workplace learning now occurs informally through interactions with colleagues rather than formal training. As workers increasingly use social networking in their personal lives, they expect and respond better to social learning environments at work. Organizations that do not provide social learning opportunities risk falling behind. Learn.com's LearnCenter platform enables social learning and collaboration in the workplace through features like blogs, forums, document sharing, and more.
