Is your organization using their Learning Management System (LMS) to its fullest potential? Are your employees engaged or is learning on the LMS seen as a “chore”? Research shows that companies who work to engage their users have more acceptance and use of this important business investment. Below are a few key strategies to help increase employee use while driving up your ROI.
State the Goals of Using an LMS and Explain the Benefits – create an engaging video to help with the message.
Ensure Employees Can Use Their Preferred Device – let employees know they have a choice; can they take a course while waiting in the car at ballet practice on their phone or IPAD?
Create Rules based on Job Roles so Assignments automatically enroll people in the right training – work with HR, Management and QA to auto assign required training easily
Develop Job Aids to Encourage More Content (Converting PPT to Elearning) – content creation is getting easier everyday – encourage department managers or trainers to convert existing content to video or eLearning to load, assign and track in the LMS
Celebrate Wins – give concrete examples of how using the LMS saves the company time and money (example: the LMS allowed for easy access to training records for a recent Audit)
Get Management Buy-in – having a company policy that all learning records should be stored in the LMS is a big step in ensuring compliance and encouraging employees to load all learning to the LMS.
