Think your employees don’t need training? Think again. According to Business Training Experts, companies that train their employees have over 200% more profit than companies who don’t invest in learning.
But learning has changed a lot over the past decade. With the rise of online degrees and classes, it makes sense that on-the-job learning should change, too.
Enter LMS, or Learning Management Systems. Learning Management Systems allow your employees to learn anytime, anywhere. At the office, or in the comfort of their own home, employees can use LMS to watch videos, read handbooks, and more.
Benefits of an LMS
- Better onboarding. Even the best companies struggle to onboard new employees. An LMS helps you to standardize the experience for every new hire. Fresh employees can complete quizzes, tests, and other learning objectives to demonstrate their mastery of corporate culture and policies. Best of all, you only need to create a training program once, before giving it to all new employees.
- Product knowledge training on the go. No need to pull your employees into a conference room and give them a PowerPoint. LMS can help your employees learn all the pertinent facts about a product line before it even launches. Best of all, LMS integrates quizzes and learning objectives, so you can be sure they’re understanding the nuances.
- Promoting from within. Are your employees ready to take on a new position? LMS can help them. By training them on job-specific skills, you can be sure that newly promoted employees are ready for the roles in their new position.
There is also evidence that suggests that LMS helps employees retain information better and for longer.
How do you know if your business could benefit from an LMS? Consider the following:
- You’ve been meaning to update your employee handbook for a very long time, and you’re not sure if you’ve ever onboarded an employee.
- You have a lot of different teams that need to know the same information.
- There’s confusion about company policy, goals, or products.
- Your employees are too busy to learn while on the clock.
The Bottom Line
LMS are becoming the go-to training option for businesses everywhere. If your employees could benefit from better education, you should invest in one.
