Comparison of LMS Platforms to Engage Employees

The reason employees will be engaged in the training process is because of the usability, relevance, and tracking of the program. A course that nobody completes is money spent in vain. That is why when comparing LMS platforms, one should consider the ability of the platform to engage people in the learning process, not just the list of features.

Below is the comparison of five different LMS platforms.

1. Illumeo

This platform provides pre-built professional courses in accounting, finance, HR, and other business fields. Managers can assign courses and track their progress through reports.

Good for: Organizations that need to get employees certified and improve their professional competencies.

Note: It is developed with professional development in mind, and thus is more suitable for teams that value expert-developed courses than those that want to develop everything from scratch.

2. TalentLMS

It is easy to set up and intuitive for employees to use. Managers can assign courses, set due dates, and monitor completion reports.

Good for: Small and developing organizations with their own learning materials.

Note: You will have to provide or purchase most of your course content.

3. iSpring LMS

It allows you to develop your own courses and quizzes and then monitor employee scores. Quizzes and microlearning lessons will engage your audience.

Good for: Teams that develop their own training materials.

Note: It works great when there is someone in your team who has time to develop and maintain courses.

4. Docebo

Docebo is ideal for large organizations that have multiple teams and varying training requirements. Docebo offers good reporting and many ways to manage groups.

Good for: Large corporations that have an extensive training program.

Note: It may take longer to implement and will cost more than other small team training solutions.

5. SAP Litmos

SAP Litmos offers pre-built courses and ways to allocate training and track completion.

Good for: Organizations looking to get started on training without creating any content.

Note: Ensure the course library fits your industry.

How to Select

Three basic questions can be asked:

Is there any training material available? If not, then select a platform that provides courses.

How many employees will be using it? The greater number of employees requires more robust reporting features and group control.

Will the people be using it? Test it with a few employees first.

Conclusion

The best learning management system for employee engagement would be the one that will actually be used by them and completed. If professional courses along with the progress report are required, Illumeo would be worth considering.
