You hired a new employee, they are excited to start their new job, they show up their first day….now what? The first day on a new job is hard enough but before your new employee can get to work, they have important matters to take care of first. The sooner your new employee can complete their onboarding and other orientation activities, the sooner they can start being productive. Whether your new employee orientation involves videos, an interactive employee handbook, or an overview of your benefits package, an LMS can help you help your new employees feel right at home in your organization.

Employees are your organizations greatest asset and successful employees are happy employees. A good training and development plan will help energize your company and facilitate greater employee development.  The benefits of a good employee training and development plan include; greater productivity, better employee engagement and the enhancement of employee talent. An LMS can enable you to facilitate professional and successful employee development through learning automation, social learning, mentoring, tracking and reporting, and natural mobility, here’s how.

On-the-job training (OJT) is a very effective and necessary technique for the teaching of new skills that require in-person demonstrations and feedback. For some hands-on skills, there is no substitute to this type of one-on-one live experience. Beyond being a good teaching technique, it also allows the learner to demonstrate competence and may be the only real way you can properly evaluate a learner’s mastery of the skills/techniques being taught.
