Compliance training is more than just another employee learning requirement—it’s a critical business function that helps organizations manage risk, meet industry regulations, and protect their reputation. A Learning Management System (LMS) with built-in compliance management features streamlines the way organizations deliver, track, and report on compliance training programs.
This article explains how compliance management fits naturally into an LMS platform, and why combining these functions provides significant value for organizations of all sizes.
