When Employees Grow With Your Company, You Are Successful

by Rubi Ahsan Associate S.E.O Consultant

One thing is certain in business: without the help of your employees, you simply cannot grow and succeed. So it's important to have them constantly on board and trained to keep moving forward...or encountering a major obstacle.

Change is inevitable. And to stay competitive, you have to adapt. Technologies change, takeovers take place, and new regulations are introduced. These are just some of the conditions that bring about change, whether you're ready or not.

Whatever it is, your employees have the power and can make or break the growth and success of your company.

Training plays an important role in these scenarios. But making sure employees take time out of their busy day to take the required courses is a challenge.

And when they get into the LMS, there's always a chance they'll get confused, overwhelmed, and give up altogether.

Those who make ends meet and stay at the LMS, they can easily get frustrated because they don't know which courses to take or where to find them.

For example, sometimes the change requires annual certifications. Will the employee also remember to include the training in his agenda? The chances are slim and we will miss it.

So which LMS features make it easier for employees to change and grow?

1. Ease of use. If additional training is planned for your employees, the LMS should not be an obstacle. An LMS should be easy and intuitive to navigate for any employee, regardless of their technical skills.

2. Offer different forms of learning. No time should be wasted when your staff's expectations increase. Make learning available in the way that suits them best: microlearning, video, infographics...

3. Notifications. Get something off their already full plate by letting the LMS add workouts to their calendar and remind them when they need to.

4. Suitable for mobile devices. Employees don't just sit behind desks, so it's important to give them the opportunity to train wherever they are, from the field to home.

5. Searchability. Make training as easy as possible for your employees, but also make it easier for them to find what they're looking for once they join the LMS.

6. BONUS FEATURE. This isn't always available with all LMSs, but having a built-in system where your employees go about their day-to-day work makes it much easier for them to use the LMS.

For example, Green LMS is based on Microsoft technologies that are widely used and adopted by thousands of companies. Therefore, all they need to do is log in with the same username and password they use every day and use the LMS they should already be familiar with.

The selection process

During the LMS selection process, however, make sure to involve your employees as much as possible to ensure you are making the right decision and that they feel supported as growth and change take place.

Consider gathering as much information as possible about the issues your employees expect with training. A survey can be a useful tool or a group discussion.

· No time to train?

· Is training necessary for my job?

· Am I not in the office much or do I have access to a computer?

Be sure to listen to and address their concerns when looking for the LMS. You might even consider adding a few employees from different departments to the LMS selection committee.

The goal is to make it as easy as possible to get the training they need, without adding extra stress and obstacles to the way they do their job.

When changes happen, your employees need to be able to go with the flow to keep your business running smoothly, increasing productivity and staying compliant, among other things. And with the right LMS, this can happen. Remember the tips on this blog when choosing an LMS.
