Employees love using a learning management system (LMS)! This e-learning platform has the power to serve the diverse learning requirements of employees regardless of their skill set, job role or training background. We've gathered some key statistics and put together a handy infographic to demonstrate just how valuable an LMS is to employees; read it below.

Why do employees love using an LMS?

• 93% of employees expect employers to provide learning opportunities
  

  When evaluating whether a business is worth committing to long term, many employees will take development opportunities into account. Using an LMS makes creating diverse, comprehensive training programmes and dynamic online learning courses easy, ensuring job retention across the board.

• 58% of employees prefer to learn at their own speed

  It's no great surprise that everyone learns at a different pace, and some will have a better grasp of certain subjects than others. Employees love using an LMS as they can revisit lessons as many times as they need to until they gain a good understanding.

• 91% of employees prefer having employee-specific training
  

  91% of employees prefer having employee-specific training, with the opinion that it is more beneficial and relevant. This is easy to achieve with features such as automation functionality, hierarchies, assessment tools and customised templates.

  Using an LMS opens up your L&D programme so that employees can access learning anywhere, at anytime. With options such as mobile learning, training can be carried out when it best suits them and can even be accessed without internet.
