A learning management system (LMS) is used to easily assign courses to employees tailored to the educational and training needs of your company. These tools function as a library of educational material, including assigned and elective courses, that employees can access from any of their devices. An LMS solution will often provide reporting, documentation, and tracking so you can monitor how your workforce is engaging with the material.
