Repetition in the workplace – how good is your memory?

Do you remember what you ate last Tuesday?

Chances are you had to think about it for a second!

And that’s not so surprising. According to the forgetting curve, we forget much of what we learn in a short time. And that unfortunately also applies to the knowledge we need in our daily work. 

But don’t panic yet! In this article, we tell you how to tackle this!

The forgetting curve: how does it work again?

The forgetting curve shows how quickly the average employee forgets newly learned knowledge. As shown in this graph, most people have already forgotten 80% of knowledge after just one week!

So the forgetting curve also shows that traditional or classroom learning forms often do not work well, because employees only learn at 1 moment in time.

So when your employees learn something new on Monday, they have already forgotten it after the weekend!

This is of course an immense waste, not only for the organisation, but also for the employee himself!

The good news: There is a quick and simple way to ensure that employees retain important knowledge in the workplace for longer!

How do I beat the forgetting curve?

Repetition is key!

You can easily beat the forgetting curve with one simple solution: introduce regular learning and repetition of knowledge! As you can see above, the effect of the forgetting curve decreases each time newly learned knowledge is repeated. So by facilitating regular learning moments in your organisation, knowledge is better remembered by your staff.
