If you have these doubts in your mind, then you are in the right place. Today, we are going to discuss everything you need to know about the LMSs used for employee onboarding and training.
In this blog, we will cover
So, let’s begin!
You can count multiple benefits of having a good employee onboarding and training LMS, but according to me, the following benefits stand out amongst others.
Based on different criteria, the following LMSs have stood out as the best choice for employee onboarding and training in our study.
Muvi One is a completely no-code LMS development solution that lets you develop your own branded LMS platform without any technical know-how.

This platform will charge you on a “per active user” basis, and you need to spend US $2.87 per active learner, in case you have a maximum of 100 active learners in a month.
This LMS is made keeping big corporate companies in mind. So, naturally, it has all the features which you will need to train your employees.
Its pricing starts at US $599 per month.
In one sentence, Abara is the smart corporate LMS for modern organizations!

Hence, if you have a really dynamic and remote workforce, then this LMS can be your ideal choice!
If you have up to 100 active users, you need to pay around US $5000 annually.
If flexibility is your key while choosing an LMS for employee onboarding, go for Docebo. This platform is known for its high degree of customizability and offers a comprehensive employee onboarding template.
The website has not listed any specific price. As it charges you based on your customized module, hence you must talk to the company directly regarding pricing.
If you are reading this blog now, you must be wondering how you can decide which LMS will be best for you. Well, for that, you will have to first analyze the features that you will need. For your convenience, we have listed out some of the top features that employee onboarding and training LMSs must have.
A good LMS should support all forms of content, video, audio, and document. This is because you will usually need all three forms of content at some stage of training. If your LMS does not support them, then your training process might become less efficient.
A good employee training program usually consists of a combination of live sessions and course videos. So, you will ideally need an LMS which supports both live streaming and on-demand streaming. I know, many LMS might not support live sessions, but it is always better to choose one that supports it.
Nowadays, most companies are focusing on remote work environments. And accordingly, the device preference of the employees is also changing. Though corporate training has traditionally taken place through professional systems only, the pandemic has shown us the importance and efficiency of mobile learning. That is why it will be a plus if you can get an LMS that lets you develop your own employee training mobile app.
Analytics is extremely important for efficient employee training. It lets you track your employee’s progress, the courses they have completed, and the assignments that they have succeeded on. It helps you get an idea of their learning potential and previous skills too.
In case you are remotely operational, cloud servers and content delivery networks (CDNs) can prove to be a lifesaver. The cloud CDN will help reduce streaming latency by delivering content from the server located nearest to your employee.
For any LMS, progress tracking and certificate management is one of the fundamental necessities. And for Corporate LMS, tracking the progress of your employees becomes even more important, as you pay them to complete these training sessions! That is why, before choosing the LMS platform, you just check their progress tracking and certification management features.
Any corporate LMS contains a lot of sensitive data, including documents related to your company policies, your employee’s personal and professional data, important courses and instructions, and a lot more. That is why the LMS must have built-in DRM features which restrict unauthorized access. Also, many times, many sensitive business data are shared during the training sessions, which should not be accessed by people living in a specific geographical location. This is where the geo block feature can really help. When applied, geo block restricts access to your content in specific locations.
There are many more features that are necessary, but these features are must-haves in every sense.
Now you might ask, what if the platforms do not offer all of them in one single place? Well, it can be a case, where you get one platform that offers some of these features while missing out on some others. In such scenarios, you can always build your own LMS platform for employee training and onboarding. And trust us, it is not at all difficult! In fact, using a good no-code platform like Muvi One, you can very easily create your own LMS platform in minutes!
