Corporate Learning and Development has come a long way in the last decade or so. In the past, corporate organizations would hold training sessions in classrooms with actual trainers and spend a lot of time and money to ensure that they had all the materials at their disposal.
Today, all training is done online where these same organizations look towards using what is called a Corporate Learning Management System (Corporate LMS).
So, let’s find out what a Corporate LMS is and how it would help fulfill an organization’s training needs.
What is a Corporate LMS?
Simply put, a Corporate LMS is a system that can create and publish training content needed by a particular organization for its employees to learn with ease.
Such an organization would be able to then offer training on products and services, soft skills, regulatory compliance and other on-boarding information that employees would need to quickly refer to.
What are the benefits of a Corporate LMS?
Structured learning
Time is precious and employees need to complete their training within deadlines, depending on the job at hand, it’s just easier and better to have the information in one place.
Employees get instant access to all the information assigned to them from the Corporate LMS based on their role, in a structured format. Frantically searching for training material in emails for alerts about training sessions is a thing of the past. Additionally, every department from sales and marketing to HR can add relevant programs required for employees to train on, without wasting time. It helps to ensure that any changes to compliance regulations are updated at the earliest. This will also ensure that there isn’t any miscommunication between departments.
It’s Easily Accessible
Until maybe a decade or so ago, organizations had to come up with ways to coordinate training sessions during work hours in such a way that it wouldn’t interfere with daily routines. Not only was this difficult but extremely time-consuming.
Today, it’s much easier to get employees trained, given that all the necessary training programs can be sourced and then saved in one place. While they are traveling to and from work or commuting to meet a customer, training is easily accessible to them at any time they choose, in the form of microlearning. Training is accessible in bite-sized chunks which helps to keep employees engaged for longer and retain the necessary knowledge properly.
