Definition

A Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application used by organizations to administer, deliver, track, and report on employee training and development programs. Modern LMS platforms support a variety of content formats including videos, quizzes, SCORM modules, and live virtual sessions. They also provide analytics on completion rates, assessment scores, and learning progress, enabling data-driven decisions about training effectiveness.

After deploying an LMS, the HR team could track that 95% of employees had completed mandatory compliance training, compared to less than 60% with the previous paper-based approach.
