The importance of knowledge workers to enterprises

With the advent of the era of knowledge economy, modern enterprises are facing a new competitive environment—continuous change and high uncertainty. In this environment, for enterprises to maintain sustainable development, the key is to find the best way to create, disseminate and apply knowledge through management. The creation, application and value-added of knowledge, as well as the reasonable allocation of resources, ultimately rely on the carrier of knowledge - "knowledge employees".

Knowledge workers have strong innovative abilities and can help companies gain advantages in an ever-changing market environment. From a characteristic analysis, knowledge workers should be such a group of people: in terms of tendencies and occupations, they are mainly engaged in mental work rather than material production, their thoughts have a certain depth or creativity, and they can't help but want to write their opinions into articles. Or speak it out publicly. In summary, they are a group of employees who pursue autonomy, individuality, diversity and innovative spirit. Knowledge workers are people who are good at learning, good at grasping the subtle things in work and life, strive to master the business knowledge of their positions, learn from successful experiences, and take fewer or even no detours.

The famous saying "Those who have talents win the world" clearly summarizes the importance of talents to enterprises. As the most important type of talents, knowledge employees play a decisive role in enterprises. . The American Fortune magazine pointed out: "The most successful companies in the future will be those based on learning organizations." An employee's continuous learning and thinking can not only improve the employee's personal quality and skills, but also improve his or her enthusiasm, initiative, creativity and sense of belonging to the company, thereby increasing the efficiency of the company's output and organizational cohesion, and contributing to the company's long-term strategy Develop and cultivate reserve forces to benefit the company in the long term.

Therefore, an employee who is good at learning is a talent that every company needs, and it is also a subordinate that the leader likes. If you want to be the best employee, then learning is a lifelong thing.

Employees who are good at learning are the most adaptable to today's rapidly developing society and can best create more value for the company. The result is a win-win situation for the company and talents.

Knowledge is the greatest capital of an excellent employee. Whether modern enterprises can survive and develop increasingly depends on high technology. Relevant data show that 99% of the wealth in the corporate world is concentrated in 1 high-tech industry. It is no exaggeration to say that knowledge changes everything! A businessman is not good at business. He has been in business for several years and lost all his little capital. When the businessman was desperate, he could only ask God. God was moved by the businessman and asked the businessman. : "What help do you need from me? And give you some money as capital for doing business"? The businessman said: "Almighty Lord, no matter how much money I have, if I still can't manage it, it won't last long. I want to get the secret of business." God pointed to a room full of books and said to the businessman: "The secret of business is in these books. Go and find it yourself." So the businessman walked into the house. A year later, the businessman had read all the books in it. Although he was much thinner when he came out, his wise eyes showed great confidence. The businessman embarked on a business journey. The experience of failure and the knowledge he learned helped him start from scratch, and soon he became a millionaire. The businessman said with emotion: "It turns out that the most valuable wealth in the world is knowledge!"

In the business world, knowledge is wealth. Similarly, in a company, no matter how strong an employee is, how sharp his mind, or how good his interpersonal relationships are, if he has no knowledge, he will be no different from a useless vase that can only be displayed. The possession of knowledge can reflect an employee's talent and ability, and the desire for knowledge is a human instinct. Any employee with a sound mind will spare no effort to acquire knowledge. The knowledge of origins can help improve one's competitiveness and realize one's value and social status in the workplace.

For example: DuPont Group was once in operational difficulties. For this reason, the group's board of directors decided to recruit 10 knowledgeable professional managers from all over the world, with an annual salary of one million US dollars. DuPont's move shocked the entire business world, and many people Everyone thought that DuPont's entire leadership group was crazy, and major newspapers rushed to reprint it. But DuPont’s decision-makers obviously didn’t think so. In an interview, a director said: “Knowledge is also a cost, a kind of capital that can create miracles. Our decision to recruit a million-year salary is not to make a decision. It’s not a gamble, it’s a formal investment. We believe that as long as we have talented people with rich knowledge, no matter how much annual salary we pay, we will get the benefits even countless times.” Sure enough, the best managers in the world were attracted to DuPont. They worked hard and turned their knowledge into corporate profits. They also gained huge personal wealth and became the mainstay and the most outstanding employees of DuPont. Within the enterprise, DuPont Group quickly got rid of long-term stagnation in production and bloated personnel. Abroad, DuPont conquered cities and expanded its business rapidly, occupying a large market share.

Facts have proved that DuPont’s decision of “knowledge is wealth” is correct. From mastering knowledge to constantly using your talents and learning to turn them into skills, this is a process of sublimation. In this sublimation process, in addition to having a correct way of thinking, it is more important that we always regard this process as a process of improving our own competitiveness. We must learn how to turn knowledge into abilities, use knowledge to enrich imagination, constantly introduce new ideas, be good at flexibly using the knowledge we have to participate in competition, and build a successful bridge between ideals and reality. As Bill Gates said: "If a person is good at learning, his future will be bright, and a good corporate group requires every organizational member to be the kind of person who is eager to make progress and work hard to learn new knowledge." Knowledge can illuminate our path to success, knowledge can enrich our minds, and knowledge can change our destiny. In short, knowledge affects everything around us and ourselves!
