Workplace Training Management  |     |  

 

Gone are the days of training a large group of employees in a conference room through long, monotonous training presentations, even before the COVID-19 pandemic introduced social distancing and widespread work from home.

However, to establish competitive advantage, long-term business growth and keeping the resources abreast with current trends and practices, calls for a continuous employee training. At the same time, it is both difficult and expensive to provide corporate training using in-house resources across geographies. This is where a cloud-hosted solution comes to your rescue and as the Head of the organization you have got to bite the bullet.

So, how do we decide on which learning management solution to adopt as per the needs of our organization?

 

 

All you need is a system which would make learning courses accessible to trainees and also track their progress on a persistent basis. At the same time, it should ensure it keeps the course creators, learners, managers, IT department and the administrative department happy.

Here are 6 crucial checks that can help you decide what employee training software would best suit your needs:

1. Easy Online Course Creation

You should be able to customize the courses based on the needs of your employees.

For example, you may want to have a particular kind of course for someone from the retail team while a different kind for a person from the telecom industry.

2. Customization

It should allow you to add your company logo and brand messages. Also, consider how much control you can exercise over settings for reminders, announcements, assignments and deadlines. A catalog structure enables us to locate the appropriate content easily.

3. Scalability

 

Good training management software should allow seamless integration with your favorite tools like Mailchimp, Salesforce, SugarCRM or any other tool of your choice. The choice of learning software should be such that the system is able to comply and integrates with the existing system.

4. User-Friendly

Organisers and the trainers should be able to navigate through the software effortlessly and find relevant training material quickly and efficiently. A feedback (comments/suggestions) by the trainers as recorded by the e-learning software can add value to the system as a whole.

5. Mobility

The software should also make trainings available on mobile devices based on the needs of the end-user. This would ensure increased accessibility of e-courses and thereby maximum utilization of resources.

Lastly, what good is your software, if it doesn’t generate practical reports?

6. Reporting

The software you choose should allow the automation of easy-to-understand and delightful reports. It lets you see what each learner has accomplished, hours spent on learning, enrolments on each course, and so on.

To cut the story short, a good Training Management Software allows you to identify the knowledge gaps of your learners so that you can take proactive steps. It eventually boils down to selecting a software which can provide you everything you need for training management in an easy, flexible and affordable way.

Hence, next time you are evaluating a workplace training management solution, make sure you take these tips into consideration, as it will ensure you invest in a system that creates impactful learning as well as organizer, trainer and learner satisfaction, which will be permeated to the company as a whole.
