Making The Most Of Metrics: How To Measure Employee Performance With Customized Reporting

It can often be difficult to measure if L&D programs are effectively working within an organization. When an LMS is deployed, it is crucial to develop analytics that parallel your programs in order to uncover valuable insights. An LMS provides many benefits to L&D Programs, but arguably one of the most important features is the ability to fully leverage training data with custom reporting features. In Chapter 5 we discussed the importance of identifying learning and development goals. By identifying and incorporating those goals, LMS admins can link back analytics data for valuable insights into the progression of reaching those benchmarks.

There are a handful of helpful metrics that can be utilized to review L&D framework, including:

  • Course completion rates
