What is a Learning Management System (LMS)?

Struggling with compliance? Frustrated by high staff turnover? Or need to link learning to business outcomes?

The solution to all of the above (and more) is a Learning Management System (LMS).

An LMS is a platform that allows you to manage every facet of workplace learning, from creating and delivering training to tracking progress and reporting on results, helping you drive measurable outcomes.

Put simply, an LMS is your all-in-one hub for learning and development.

Most LMS platforms have two key interfaces:

  • Admin view – where learning and development (L&D) teams create and manage courses, enrol learners, and monitor training results.
  • Learner view – where employees can access mandatory training, browse optional courses, and track their own development journey.

As well as tracking learning, your LMS delivers online training materials to various audiences, on-demand. And you’re not restricted to one form of learning. Everything from courses and quizzes to videos, and real-time instructor-led sessions; with an LMS, you’re ensuring that your employees can access training that suits them, and you can cater for different learning styles. For your desk, and deskless learners, an LMS has something for everyone.

The best part? An LMS supports a wide variety of formats, from interactive courses, videos, and quizzes to real-time virtual classrooms and in-person workshops. Whether you have desk-based teams or frontline staff, an LMS makes learning accessible anywhere, anytime.

 

What are the benefits of an LMS?

  1. Reduce L&D costs

An LMS makes it easy to shift a lot of learning online, giving you huge cost savings on training rooms, travel expenses, and sourcing learning materials. According to Brandon Hall Group, companies that use an LMS save an average of 40–60% on training costs compared to traditional methods.

 

  1. Save time with automation

From auto-enrolling new hires into onboarding programmes to sending compliance reminders, an LMS takes care of repetitive admin tasks. This not only saves HR and L&D teams hours of work each week but also ensures new employees get the right training from day one, improving retention and reducing costly churn.

  1. Stay compliant (without the stress)

Whether it’s health and safety, GDPR, or industry-specific regulations, an LMS makes it easy to assign and track compliance training. Automated notifications help learners stay on top of deadlines, while centralized reporting gives you the data you need when audits roll around.

  1. Track and measure progress

With built-in analytics and reporting tools, you can see exactly how employees are progressing, identify skill gaps, and measure the impact of your L&D strategy. LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report found that 89% of L&D pros agree proactively building employee skills will help navigate the evolving future of work… and an LMS gives you the data to make this happen.

  1. Boost employee retention

Here’s a stat worth remembering: 94% of employees say they would stay longer at a company that invests in their learning and development. By offering accessible, personalized learning opportunities through an LMS, you’re showing your people that their growth matters, which keeps them engaged, motivated, and loyal.

  1. Enhance performance and growth

Continuous learning drives continuous improvement. An LMS encourages a growth mindset by making learning easy to access and relevant to performance goals. Managers can link training to performance reviews, assign skill-building courses, and unlock hidden talents within their teams. A great LMS will allow you to align performance to business outcomes, driving organizational success.
