JULY 2016HR TECH OUTLOOK6"A well trained employee doesn't just perform better, they feel a greater level of satisfaction on the job." Gone are the days when an employ would drag himself to the meeting room at the end of an exhausting day to attend the mandatory training section. With rapid changes in technology, companies--from healthcare, financial services to manufacturing--are investing in fast, new ways to train and reskill their employees at all levels. This is fostering the growth of innovative Learning Management Systems (LMS) that seamlessly integrate training into everyday lives of employees.On the forefront of this movement are cloud-based LMS tools that have created a host of opportunities for new learning experiences. In a globalized business atmosphere, cloud based tools are enabling HR teams to remotely train the employees, create and reuse training materials, and monitor and track the progress. Integrating strategies including automation, gamification and responsiveness, these tools keep the learners engaged throughout the training period. Most recently, mobile learning has emerged as the most sought out feature in an LMS as it helps organizations deliver training materials directly to the employees' handheld devices. This gives the employees--especially people who are always on the go--the freedom to learn from anywhere and anytime. In this scenario, it comes as no surprise that effective LMS can increase employee productivity by as much as 50 percent--a main reason why almost 42 percent of global Fortune 500 companies are using a form of e-learning, self-paced course to train their employees. Coupled with this fact, the ongoing innovations in learning tools and delivery methods are expected to further accelerate the growth of LMS market. Meanwhile, in a highly fragmented market with specialized systems that are designed for specific vertical market segments, finding the right LMS that fits their unique needs can often be a cumbersome task for the HR leaders. Our aim with this special edition is to help them discover best of the breed LMS solutions that complement their employee training strategies.
