LMS Employee Handbook

LMS Employee Handbook

What is LMS?

Zoho People offers a platform for continuous learning for employees through the Learning Management System - LMS feature. An employee can enroll in blended learning and self-paced courses that will help them upgrade their skill sets and further their careers in the organization.

Self-paced learning courses allow the employee to learn at their own pace and move forward from one subject to the next based on how much they have understood.

Blended learning courses can have a combination of instructor-led training and self-learning components. These courses commonly conclude with an assessment where the learner is evaluated on what they have learned in the course.

Learning plan in Zoho People is to help train employees with the help of a curriculum or a syllabus-like focused approach. Learning plans may consist of several courses, and the courses can be grouped into levels. Organizations may want their employees to evolve their skillsets and knowledge constantly. A carefully crafted learning plan can include a set of selected courses that employees belonging to a specific role or designation can undertake, in order to improve themselves there-by becoming more valuable people in the company.  

E-materials are the online manuals that an employee can add and share with other employees in the organization. E-materials can be files, links, videos, or documents and can be accessed anytime.
