Learning and refining employee skills and capabilities is pivotal to organisational improvement. This ethos thrives within 3Squared and was a key driver behind the creation of the RailSmart Virtual Campus, an effective learning management system (LMS).

The overarching objective of the LMS is to align business strategies with employee training and development goals. Partly as a result of remote working in recent years, LMS’ have faced a huge surge in usage, and have therefore proven how adaptable they are with the requirements of today’s digitalised world.
Why choose to use a Learning Management System?
A good LMS provides users with a wide range of benefits; from reducing unnecessary administrative burdens, to improving accessibility and adapting to the modern ways of working and empowering businesses to provide enhanced training and development for their leaners.
There are two types of LMS users – administrators and learners. Administrators are responsible for managing the LMS, which involves a range of tasks including course management, assigning specific learner groups to specific learner plans, and more.
Learners are on the receiving end of learning initiatives. Learners who have access to an LMS can view their course information, complete assigned courses and evaluations and measure their own progress. The optimum LMS solution ensures that this access has a streamlined user journey and prioritises accessibility and ease.
An effective LMS offers a range of uses from customer training and employee onboarding and development, through to compliance training and more. This, combined with an accessible, user-friendly experience, makes it a sensible decision to instil and integrate an effective learning management system within your business.
