Onboard Employees In Less Time With WorkRamp

With traditional employee training software, it takes weeks — if not longer — to build a custom training program. In WorkRamp, you can set up your program and start onboarding new hires in a matter of days.

WorkRamp helps you onboard employees in less time by making it easy for you to customize the platform, set up new courses, import external courses, create learning paths, track user progress, test their skills through quizzes and tests, and grant custom certifications.

Why Invest In Employee Training Software?

Employee training software is fundamental in attracting top talent, getting new hires ramped up efficiently, and continuously upskilling your employees to retain talent and stay competitive.

You Can Attract Top Talent With A Meaningful Investment In Employee Training

According to Citrix, 88% of employees prefer organizations that use the latest technology to enable learning. By focusing on talent development and streamlining your training program through the latest employee training software, you can attract the best talent and retain employees.

Everyone wants to hire the best and most skilled people of their industry, but most companies struggle in attracting their ideal employees. This is because:

• Great talent is scarce
• People prefer remote working and flexibility
• They want the values of their employer to align with their own
• They want a work culture where they can constantly acquire new skills and grow

By investing in employee training software, you can put a check mark on two out of four items on the list, i.e. you can create your own talent, and show them that you are interested in their growth.

You Can Start New Hires Off On The Right Foot

The average cost of hiring an entry-level employee is 20% of that employee’s annual salary. The same cost for hiring a mid-level resource is almost 1.5 times their salary. When you spend that much to bring someone onboard, you want to retain them. Failure to do so will cost you even more. U.S. businesses lose more than $630 billion every year due to employee turnover.

So how do you solve this problem? By having a great onboarding program, you can retain 69% of your new hires for up to three years. Using the latest employee training software, you can offer user-specific training and make a great impression on your new hires.

Retain And Upskill Your Employees And Eliminate Skills Gap To Protect Your Business

McKinsey and Company surveyed 1,000 tech startups in multiple countries and found that:

• 43% had an immediate skills gap
• 44% predicted a skills gap in the next two to five years

Even if your team consists of the most skilled professionals in your industry, their skills will become dated sooner than you might think. The rate at which technology is evolving has had a huge impact on how long technical and non-technical skills remain relevant. According to IBM, technical skills only have a shelf-life of about two and a half years.

You can eliminate the skills gap in your organization by identifying the kind of training your employees currently need, as well as the training they’ll need down the line, and then providing them with said training through user-friendly employee training and development software.

Legacy LMS Systems vs. Modern Employee Training Software

Traditional LMSs don’t support the kind of customization and options provided by modern employee training software. These systems suffer from:

• A lack of support for integration
• No learning gamification
• No support for custom learning paths
• Difficulty in creating new courses

Furthermore, older systems have limited options for reporting and may not support some metrics you’d like to track (such as tracking active users and the completion rate on voluntary courses).

As opposed to legacy systems and traditional LMSs, modern employee training software:

• Supports interactive courses
• Works with all types of devices and screen sizes (including mobile devices)
• Supports integration with other systems
• Facilitates easy new-courses creation
• Makes importing pre-made courses from other systems easier
• Allows you to white-label and customize these systems for your requirements

By sticking with legacy systems, you’ll be missing out on all the opportunities presented by modern techniques of talent development.

Companies stick to legacy systems because of resistance to change. There may already be a number of legacy users in your organization who are comfortable with your old LMS. There are also other issues such as disrupted workflow and data loss.

With WorkRamp, your legacy users will find it very easy to get used to the new employee training software. You can import legacy data into WorkRamp through powerful integrations and minimize disruption.

Your employees can participate in these discussions, learn from each other, and strengthen your company’s culture. Peer to peer learning helps in employee development, enables knowledge sharing, and even makes remote workers feel like part of the team.

You Turn Training Into Edutainment

With WorkRamp, you tap into the power of gamification with leaderboards, challenges, and roleplay scenarios. You can also set up prizes and encourage friendly competition to engage your learners. Through gamification, you can engage your employees more effectively, motivate them to learn new skills, and help your remote workers skill-up through informal learning.
