9am Assessing the job


‘Assessing the job’ is probably not the first thing you want to do at 9am – perhaps after the coffee and croissants and an update on Big Brother, but not before. But an LMS is so logical and hard working that it starts right on time and with the right tasks.

You can’t – or shouldn’t – be organising training without first knowing what skills and competencies are required to effectively fulfil the responsibilities of each of the major roles in your organisation. An LMS can’t help to reduce the painstaking work required in defining competency frameworks across an organisation. What it can do is record these in a systematic way, so that – later in the day – they can be used as the basis for curriculum planning and the analysis of training and developmental needs.

Of course, competencies aren’t the only way of looking at job requirements. In some cases, specific qualifications or certifications are essential prerequisites to landing a job. In other cases, employees have to obtain a license in order to carry out a particular task and then be re-licensed on a regular basis. The LMS can do more than store this information – it can act on it to ensure employees are informed of their obligations and are pointed to the appropriate learning resources.
