• Never heard of an LMS before? Dont know the
  importance of investing in the continuous
  learning and development of your employees?
• If you didnt already know it, people are driven
  by learning just take a look at the popularity
  of unpaid internships. As an employer, you can
  take advantage of this fact and use it help
  retain your best employees and even boost
  productivity. But what if youre the owner of a
  small business with an even smaller training
  department? How will you meet the personalized
  learning goals of each employee?

• Here we look in a little more detail at Learning
  Management Systems, or LMSs, which are exactly
  the kind of tool small business owners can use to
  help their employees get the training and
  development they crave.
• What is an LMS?
• Learning Management Systems are a software
  application that organizations can use to
  deliver, track and assess educational material
  for employees. There are various LMS platforms
  available, and with their help, your small
  business could create learning thats scalable,
  customizable and accessible from anywhere.

• How exactly can an LMS help your organization?
• Giving you access to all of your training,
  onboarding, job development and continued
  learning in one convenient location, you (or your
  managers) can easily administer content to
  different employees, groups and course paths.
• Here are some other ways that LMS can help you
• With customized learning
• Provided you select a good LMS (and if you work
  with an outsourced payroll provider, they will be
  able to recommend and set you up with one),
  youll be able to create your own courses
  relative to the specific needs of both your
  business and your employees, and upload all of
  your own content.

• Some LMSs also enable you to add material from a
  library of pre-designed courses such as safety
  videos, sexual harassment training and soft-skill
  learning.
• By being able to easily measure success
• A quality LMS will enable you to easily tell if
  your training efforts are effective by tracking
  the progress of each employee.
• By saving you time
• Employees are able to work at their own pace with
  an LMS, and not waste time going over information
  theyve already learned or are aware of. With the
  help of gamification and quizzes, employers can
  assess the level of an employees understanding,
  and ensure that no important information is
  missed.

• With continual compliance
• LMSs can be an invaluable tool for helping a
  business remain compliant with current
  regulations, and with compliance laws changing on
  a frequent basis, this can prove incredibly
  useful. Updating traditional course material can
  take up a lot of time, but with an LMS, you can
  quickly and easily add new compliance standards
  to your online training.
• If you use a corporate-wide LMS, you can also
  ensure that compliance training remains
  consistent right across your organization,
  irrespective of location.

• Retaining good employees and encouraging them to
  be more productive is only ever in the best
  interests of your business, and with an LMS, you
  can do exactly that. Couple it with an outsourced
  payroll service that will get employee pay right
  and paid in a timely manner, and you can give
  your employees as much chance of wanting to
  remain with your company, as possible.
