Whenever you need to hire a new employee, you need to provide them with full onboarding training, so they can start their work as soon as possible and be fully prepared.
Depending on how well this training is built and developed, your new hires will either have a hard time figuring out how to deal with new responsibilities, or they will start showing great results from the first days of work.
Of course, the more time it takes for a new employee to get used to their role, the more money the organization loses, and the riskier the new hire’s position becomes. That’s why a good and elaborate training plan is in both parties’ best interests.
The training management software SharePoint is a platform that allows HR managers to build a customized Learning Management System, also called LMS. By providing a digital workspace where employees can have access to the essential training information at any time, SharePoint contributes to your company’s success.
SharePoint LMS is an advanced Learning Management System developed specifically for the SharePoint platform. With SharePoint LMS, organizations can efficiently manage their training programs, track employee progress, and deploy multimedia content seamlessly. The integration of SharePoint LMS enhances the capabilities of SharePoint, offering a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to optimize their learning and development initiatives.
There are quite a few solutions for HR managers to build an LMS for their workforce. However, SharePoint is certainly one of the most used platforms, and there’s no wonder why it’s so popular.
SharePoint offers HRs almost endless features to help them build a great Learning Management System. Just to name a few:
· Content management. SharePoint LMS makes the process of uploading learning material and approving it very simple.
· Training management. Set reminders and create task lists to make sure that your employees always keep up with the training and complete their tasks in time. In addition, you can add due dates and training events to a calendar and share it with your staff.
· Permission management. Surely, employees from different departments and on different levels might need different training courses. With SharePoint LMS, you can upload multiple courses and allow access to them for particular groups of workers.
· Team collaboration. We all know that learning through play is more efficient than just pure learning. Obviously, by ‘play’ we don’t mean building sandcastles in a sandbox, but what you can do with SharePoint LMS is add communities and discussion boards so that your learners are able to communicate with each other, practice new skills together and just take the edge off of the training by having a laugh with their colleagues. It is also possible to implement gamification to improve learning outcomes.
· Easy synchronization. Once a learner is signed up, SharePoint will automatically synchronize with the company’s systems thanks to the Single Sign-On (SSO) feature, so your employees won’t even need to create and remember another password.
· Feedback. The best way to improve your training is to ask trainees to provide feedback. Conduct surveys to find out what your learning course lacks and how you could make it better.
LMS software would make no sense without integrations with other services, platforms, and solutions. SharePoint isn’t an exception – its integrations provide an advanced learning experience for new hires. For instance, the platform is integrated with the following tools:
HR Software integrated with SharePoint LMS offers automated enrollment of a new employee in LMS training, which is based on any changes in the HR system, such as new job responsibilities.
