The Importance of Compliance Training Management Software

The importance of a compliance training management solution lies in providing a centralized system for an employee training & skill development needs to meet operational risk management and compliance assurance objectives. A flexible training management solution is key to provide your team with the tools and information they need to not only be successful in their roles, but also abide by your organization’s processes, expectations, compliance requirements, and safety policies. While workplace training is often required during onboarding of new employees, ongoing training is also critical to stay informed of regulation or operational updates that may dictate changes in their job requirements.

Benefits of a LMS Software for Compliance Training Management

Housing employee training records in spreadsheets or emails is not only challenging to manage, but also does not provide an easy way of pulling reports to view your team’s training performance. By incorporating a LMS in your organization’s continued learning plan, you can digitize and streamline the management of your team’s assignments and further drive employee engagement. A centralized portal provides training leaders with real-time visibility into their employee’s training progress and completion status for easy management and to stay on top of your organization’s regulatory training requirements. With a course library of integrated content, you can ensure that the training materials reflect current industry and regulatory updates to address knowledge gaps and help your team to operate safely and efficiently. E-quizzes measure employees on the information they learned and, can also determine if additional training is needed.

Should I buy a software from a LMS provider, or should I build my own?

When making this decision, it’s important to keep not only your current and future training management goals in mind, but also verify that the solution is in line within your allocated budget. A key advantage of building a LMS is that you can closely tailor to the compliance training needs of your organization. However, when it comes to the time needed to plan, design, and develop the software, purchasing and importing the training content and obtaining any required licensing, implementation, and ongoing maintenance and content updates this can turn out to be a costly option from an up-front cap-ex and recurring operational expenditure sense. Buying your LMS solution from a provider can eliminate the headaches associated with mapping out a product from square one. Most LMS solutions are customizable to match the feature-set and desired functionality you’re looking for while having maintenance and updates taken care of for you.
