Learning Management System (LMS)

What is a Learning Management System (LMS)?

A learning management system (LMS) is a great asset for businesses of any size. In the past, LMS options were only available to enterprise clients and large businesses, but that is no longer the case. Now even small businesses can get access to the benefits of learning and training opportunities, which directly impact employees and their abilities to progress and build their skills. If your company is considering a LMS for the first time, it’s helpful to evaluate several aspects of each system you’re comparing to find the right option for your business needs.

A LMS is a software program that helps companies manage how their employees (or learners) gain access to training. Depending on how you set up your training program and what learning opportunities you want to offer to employees, you can choose from a wide range of LMS options. Some companies require employees to take compliance training, especially those in industries that are more heavily regulated, such as finance, health care, power, petroleum and gas, and manufacturing. Other companies focus their training on specific topics that relate to the needs of the organization.

Across the board, most companies work to develop a training strategy that includes a mix of learning opportunities. It’s also important to consider different styles of learning and how your employees will benefit from various offerings. A strong training program should include videos, supporting documentation, and engaging elements to keep learners engaged and interested. The days of sitting in a lecture-style training with most participants tuned out are behind us. Your company’s training program can incorporate the needs and desires of modern learners and provide better results, and a LMS is the way to make that happen.
