Growing your people with LMS platforms

As more of us are now remote working and as businesses continue to have to adapt to the ever changing markets, Learning Management Systems (LMS) are an effective way to engage, motivate and train not only your employees, but your customers too.

LMS platforms enable you host a range of informative resources such as literature, videos and training modules that can be easily accessed by your teams and customers, whether they are in the office, working from home, or on the go with their mobile. LMS makes it possible to store all your content in one place where your learners can easily find it whenever they want.

When the only constant of business is change, you need to be agile. Learning Management Systems assist you in crafting the courses at the speed of business, using your subject-matter experts who know your business best.

By using an LMS platform, you can greatly reduce the amount of time and money that goes into training and supporting your customers, employees and partners. Resources and content can be created that works for your learners and easily uploaded to the LMS for 24-7 access, without the travel and expenses for a live classroom and the logistics management that goes with it.

That being said, providing training online shouldn’t mean sacrificing human connection. Blended learning reaps more rewards when providing a range of learning programmes for employees; such as peer interactions and knowledge sharing. Offering blended learning means you can cater to all, as we all want to learn in different ways.

Some LMS platforms, are also extremely customizable, which allows you to present a learning experience that’s visually consistent with the rest of your brand. Keeping content delivery as seamless as possible helps prevent a jarring experience that interrupts the flow of learning.

Many learning management systems also come with tools for tracking the progress of users as they work through training courses. With both high-level dashboards and in-depth reporting – it’s easy to see just how well L&D is achieving in your organisation, and you can adapt and evolve the resources based on the effectiveness.

Providing resources on such a platform also goes a long way in motivating and retaining your people. If you invest in them, not only will they be more effective in their roles, but they are more likely to be loyal to your organisation and see how their career can progress.
