Human Resource Management System (HRMS) software is the ultimate tool for performing all tasks related to efficiently managing a talented workforce. It helps keep employees engaged, updated, and included. Organisations also need to invest time and capital in training their employees to keep them current on new skills and ultimately lead to enhanced performance and growth.
A comprehensive HRMS must also incorporate a Learning Management System (LMS) that helps with employee learning and development. Many organisations across Australia and New Zealand have already implemented an LMS integrated with their HRMS and are reaping the benefits of a highly competent and skilled workforce. Let’s have a look at the ways a HRMS can make a difference in how your employees gain knowledge.
Human Resource Management System Helping Employees Learn New Skills
Implementing an automated modular HRMS including a LMS can help employees, organisational managers, HR personnel, employee training administrators, and decision-makers. It allows you to manage every aspect of your employee training and provide your employees with a fully customised training experience.
It includes the following:
- The ability to learn anytime, anywhere and on any device.
- Being able to access learning schedules well in advance and to plan accordingly.
- Managers being able to recommend training for their teams.
- Training administrators to identify the need for training and provide this.
- Managers can share learning assessment details easily.
- Training administrators to assign learning goals to each individual or group of employees.
There are many benefits of a LMS integration with a HRMS. Listed below are just a few.
1. All in one place
Integrating a LMS in a HRMS translates to accessing only one system for more than one requirement. There is no need to keep separate systems for employee training and managing employee details or performance management. Organisational and HR managers can access all the data related to the performance and skill set of an employee from one place.
Decision-makers are provided with more insights and can made guided decisions when the information related to all aspects of an employee can be merged and presented together.
2. Better talent recognition and management
Again, as all the employee data is present in one place, there is an enhancement in data analysis. Managers can now maintain better employee records that include specifics about their acquired skills and performance in assessments after training. It leads to improved management of employee training and project assignment according to this information. This also helps with cross boarding employees.
Managers can suggest the appropriate learning modules an employee can complete and that they can benefit from. This allows for skills growth and not repetitive training if they have already acquired the required knowledge and are implementing it efficiently. Additional training can be provided to those that need it.
3. Set clear standards from the beginning
Every time you onboard a new employee, you can start with assigning them immediate goals and targets. These goals should ideally be a part of your training programme, but you can analyse the working style of a new employee and any areas you might need them to improve in right from the beginning.
Recently businesses have been adapting pre-boarding. This helps to connect with new employees through a HRMS through the recruitment phase. It also helps the new employee gain an insight into the work culture of the organisation and the standards of work expected from them.
4. Simpler and more rewarding for everyone
Enhanced and integrated LMSs can improve employee retention and business growth. It helps provide a seamless work experience to your employees. An organisation that allows employees to learn and grow can ensure employee satisfaction.
Employees who feel challenged, mentored, and valued tend to remain longer and work towards achieving business goals.
Final thoughts:
Modern digital human resource management systems do not just focus on calculating employee attendance and preparing payroll. They provide a comprehensive and streamlined learning experience as well.
