So, organising mandatory training for your employees is a pain in the ass. Even more so if you don’t have a learning management system (LMS). How many times have you had to reschedule or cancel mandatory training? Has training negatively impacted on production schedules? Did employees ‘forget’ to turn up to training?

Yes, mandatory training is expensive. It can also be hard to schedule, impacts on production and work schedules and let’s not mention the paper trail! It can also be hard to get your staff excited about and engaged with mandatory training. In fact, a lot of employees do not like the disruption to their normal work routine and the word ‘mandatory’ certainly makes it less appealing.

A solution that takes away all the pain associated with mandatory training is a Learning Management System (LMS). They not only provide online training courses and reporting capabilities, have a look at some of the major benefits below.
