E-learning Benefits & LMSs For Employee Onboarding

Simplify and streamline employee onboarding

Every new employee, no matter how senior, needs to quickly learn specific information about their role, the company, its processes, its values and culture, their co-workers, health and safety…the list can seem endless, and the number of forms can be enormous.

Nonetheless, onboarding is essential because it’s the first real opportunity that every new hire needs to take after joining the business. Having a powerful learning management system (LMS) can play a vital role in managing, delivering, and measuring the success of your onboarding system and induction training.

Inspire productivity from day one with your employee onboarding platform. The right LMS for employee onboarding gets your new hires off to a flying start.

“One of the things that is great about Totara Learn is being able to introduce a bit at a time, rather than a system that shows everything and then is difficult to understand."
