Conducting Efficient and Ethical Searching in the Workplace
It’s common for employees and managers to conduct online research to find materials to assist in the work environment. Consider this: How many times have you run a quick Google search to better understand a workplace issue?
The need to conduct ethical searching in order to understand a new skill, build out a new program or engage with difficult conversations within the workplace is extensive and something we often don’t think about. However, the World Economic Forum estimates that by 2025, 50 percent of all employees will need retraining due to adopting technologies and that lifelong learning should be a part of an organization’s goals. In addition, information literacy skills allow employees to critically evaluate resources for accuracy and more efficiently find current content.
This Lunch and Learn will detail the concepts of information literacy, review how proper internet searching and evaluating of resources can improve the work environment, and demonstrate actionable steps you can take to enhance your own search skills.
