Learning Management Integration

Moving On

With professional ladders and assessments migrated from the original prototype into Basis HR, we've turned out attention to what happens after assessments.

Learning is a key part of improving one's capability, and in turn, contribution. It is often a neglect element of HR even when an organization has formal budgets for professional development.

Learning Management System

A Learning Management Systems (LMS) are complex animals. And while this is a project in its own right, we've always felt it necessary that Basis HR would provide an integrate LMS that is directly tied to assessments.

Everyone must take responsibility for learning. The LMS that is built in to Basis HR provides both self-directed and coach-assisted continuous professional development. A coach may be an independent consultant or career coach employed by the organization, or a supervisor keen on building the capability of his or her staff.

Training Versus Learning

It may be said that training is driven by process and procedure. It represents standard operations of the organization and its business units. Traditional HR is often focused on training, and this material has its place. For example, FERPA training for higher education or HIPPA training for health care providers.

In this regard, training relates more to tactical or operational interests.

On the other hand, we feel that learning is about the strategic objectives of the organization. Where is the organization going? And what does its staff need to know in order to get there?

Basis HR now provides the ability to engage in strategic learning across the organization.

Maximum Advantage

The Basis HR LMS facilitates the use of both internal and external content. This allows planners and coaches to maximize the available content and re-use what's already available.

Conclusion

We're excited to have this portion of Basis HR fleshed out. More work is needed, but the LMS provides the basis for both training and learning that may be tied to professional ladders and assessments.
