Employee performance drives business success. And appropriate training is vital to your company’s growth.

Before the internet — when how-to articles and video tutorials weren’t immediately accessible — in-person, instructor-led training (ILT) was the go-to workplace training method.

However, with today’s instant access to information, employees don’t need to spend hours in a conference room to learn. More employers are replacing in-person ILT training with online learning management software (LMS), which is:

  • faster
  • easier to access
  • more engaging
  • more cost-effective

Also known as a learning management system, an LMS delivers introductory, advanced and industry-specific training through the convenience of an app. It’s also a delivery vehicle for companywide communication.

The right LMS is key to retention. Today’s employees want to hone their skills and advance their careers. In a Gallup survey of over 15,000 U.S. workers:

  • 71% said upskilling made them happier
  • 61% cited learning opportunities as a top reason to stay
  • 48% would consider switching jobs for greater development

How do businesses find the ideal online learning management software?

With so many LMS options on the market, employers should look for tech capable of both computer-based and mobile learning. With these options available, employees can control how they choose to learn — and when.

Talent shouldn’t have to ask for training, especially when it’s convenient and accessible. The right LMS should be available in the same single software employees use to manage all their HR data — through just one login and password.

Additionally, an LMS should double as a great communication tool, both providing necessary compliance training and sharing information with employees. It should also be capable of tracking course completion and an employee’s comprehension of the material.

In this guide, we’ll explore how the right learning management software:

  • helps businesses keep people on staff longer
  • reduces the cost of training
  • is easy to use, efficient and engaging
