How to Easily Track and Manage Your Employees' Learning Progress

Employee training is crucial for any business and even more important for startups. Not only do startups need up-to-date employees on the company's latest changes and developments, but they also need employees who can learn quickly.

However, tracking employee learning progress can be difficult, especially if you're not comfortable with tools. This article will show you how to track and manage your employees' learning progress with a few easy-to-use platforms. Ready? Let's get started!

Spreadsheets

One of the most common ways to track employee learning is through a spreadsheet. This type of system allows you to keep all your employee training data in one place, making it easy to see how each individual is progressing.

To set up your spreadsheet, first, create a new column for each topic that you want to track (such as "training topics"). Next, add rows for each employee whose progress you want to record (e.g., "employee 1" and "employee 2"). Finally, enter the relevant information into the cells below: 

Employee 1's training Training topics:     

- Introduction to the company

- The role of the employee

- Company policies and procedures

Employee 2's training Training topics:

- Introduction to the company (same as Employee 1) - The role of the employee (same as Employee 1)

- Company policies and procedures (different from Employee 1)

Now you're ready to start tracking your employees' progress. 

Learning management software

If you're uncomfortable using a spreadsheet, you can also track employee learning using a learning management system (LMS). An LMS like iSpring allows you to manage all your training materials and tracking data in one place.

To set up your LMS, first, create a new account and sign in. Next, navigate to the 'Settings' tab and select the 'Learning Management' option:

Now you'll need to choose which type of data you want to track. You can either keep all your training information in one place (along with employee records) or split it between a learning management system and an employee database.

Once you've made your choices, click on the 'Create New Learning Module' button:

Next, enter a name for your module (e.g., 'Employee Training'), and select the type of training you want to track (e.g., 'Classroom Course'). Finally, choose a category for your module (e.g., 'Training & Development) and click on the 'Create Module' button:

Employee training tracking software

Several different employee tracking software options are available on the market.

Some of these programs allow you to keep all your training information in one place, while others allow you to split it between an LMS and an employee database.

Most programs also have features that allow you to track progress, calculate learning outcomes, and generate reports. To find the best employee training tracking software for your needs, first, search online for reviews. Next, compare features and pricing options before making a purchase.

Finally, install the program.

Key Metrics to Measure in Employee Training

Here are some key metrics to track in employee training:

1. Number of employees enrolled in training courses

2. Overall learner satisfaction ratings for each training course

3. Time spent on each module/topic during the course

4. Percentage of employees who achieved specific learning outcomes

5. Overall cost and financial savings associated with employee training

6. Effectiveness of training in terms of employee skills development

Conclusion

This is just a partial list of the best tools you can use to manage and track your employees' learning progress. Each software has unique features, but all of them allow for easy tracking and management of employee training.

Besides, many come with free trial versions, so you can try them before you buy! Make sure to set up a regular feedback session between yourself and your employees to get the results that matter most.
