However, due to their general nature, it’s touch for them to be best of breed in all areas of HR. Leading solutions include PARiM staff management software. - Learning Management System
Often used by both small and large businesses to develop their staff via elearning, a learning management system (LMS) enables both trainers and learners to access and manage training content online any time and anywhere. These are sometimes called Training Management Systems or virtual learning environments (VLE).The most popular VLE for education is the open source Moodle, while a popular corporate learning platform is the Pathway Cloud LMS. - Employee / Staff Scheduling
