Human Resources and Learning Management Systems

At the central point of coordination and business process facilitation is the Human Resources department. So, too, is an organization’s learning management system (LMS).

Depending upon the size of organization and your level within it, your role as Human Resources professional may include Chief Learning Officer, learning professional, training, or organization development roles.

The enterprise looks to Human Resources most often now for guidance and advice on how to drive up productivity and increase accountability and competencies, while also providing employee satisfaction and performance improvement.

However, when it comes to selecting an LMS for your organization, HR professionals are, at a minimum, partners with others in their roles, including line of business managers and the IT department. As a result, understanding what to look for in an LMS is critical.

HR and training are not immune from budget pressures. And, you have been driving the trend of shifting priorities and budgets from traditional in-classroom and instructor-led training to the more cost-efficient and flexible e-Learning format.

When we see declining training budgets, the tendency is to default into a do less with less type of default strategy. While overall training budgets decline, every dollar shifted into e-Learning efforts is returning a significant increase in results or ROI. This more than offsets the overall budget decline.

E-Learning, and by extension your learning management system, has become a critical business tool for accountability, compliance and competitive advantage, all while driving operational expenses down.
