A Learning Management System (LMS) is a web-based platform that is used to teach people, while managing any related tasks. It can be used by companies of any size, and within any industry. And while it is simple to implement and easy to use, the capabilities of an LMS are seemingly endless. Aside from making your life as a Human Resources professional exponentially easier, it also helps your entire company thrive. Here’s what a Learning Management Systems does:
Curates a Content-Rich Hub of Relevant Information
More than customized to your industry, Learning Management Systems can be uniquely tailored to your specific company. From there, e-courses and training can be implemented on a company-wide basis as well as for specific skills, or specific individuals. Have a mandatory training? Set that up in your LMS for easy access and step-by-step completion, where you’ll be able to track progress. Your company can also house training manuals there for new employees to get started with, or any other information that would be valuable to the growth of your team. And while self-management is a great option, an LMS also presents an effective way to provide blended learning options.
Keeps Your Talent Engaged in a Highly Organized Way
Are there skill gaps within your company right now? Learning Management Systems make it easy to make a side-by-side comparison of what necessary skills are in place and working, and identify what to build upon. Through goal planning, your employees may even express their interest in learning a new skill. An LMS makes on-the-job training possible, and can be accessed from anywhere so that members of your team can learn where and when it works best for them. Studies have shown that when given opportunities for growth, employees will be more engaged in their work – which we all know translates to a more successful company. An LMS is the perfect way to build engagement through employee learning opportunities.
Manages Information on an Intuitive Platform
On the HR side of things, you’ll be able to manage the analytics of your LMS, giving you valuable insight into how your learning systems are performing and help you get on top of this year’s learning trends. You can even set up customized logins for specific audiences.
Streamlines Compliance Year-Round
From ensuring your ISO is renewed, to setting up a validated learning environment for advanced certifications, your Learning Management System will help make these safety requirements and regulations automated and more efficient for everyone involved – without all the paperwork.
Overall, a top LMS – like SuccessFactors Learning – encourages employee engagement, customizes learning to your team’s wants, and helps close the skill gaps within your company. Want to learn more?
