A Training Management System (TMS) and a Learning Management System (LMS) serve distinct yet complementary functions within the realm of Learning and Development (L&D).

A TMS primarily focuses on the administrative side of managing corporate L&D programs. As a result, a TMS will provide functionalities that make it easier to gather training needs, submit training requests, build and track training plans, manage budgets, evaluate training courses, and much more.

A LMS primarily focuses on the delivery and management of educational content and learning experiences. With an LMS, users select and take training courses online through the platform.

Despite their differences, HR teams can employ a LMS and a TMS to provide a more flexible and robust learning and development program for their employees.

Training management is the HR specialty involving the largest number of administrative tasks. HR staff have to manage registrations and invitations, manage reminders, monitor invoicing, etc. 

When the employee training plan is managed manually, monitoring the training file is tedious. The time allocated to this task takes up a lot of the Training Manager's time. What's more, the skills development plan is built up bit by bit. There is a risk that HR will miss out on optimization levers or economies of scale, such as in-house sessions. 

With training management software, the automation features make it easier to manage training requests, registrations, confirmations and reminders. The administrative burden on HR teams is reduced thanks to TMS: they can concentrate on talent management.  

To develop an employee's skills, many players will be involved. The manager must give the go-ahead, the HR department then contacts the training organization and monitors the employee's enrolment, etc. Without an automated alert or reminder system, this process can take weeks or even months.  

With training management software, it takes just a few clicks to register employees for sessions. Real-time monitoring of the status of each request enables all stakeholders to take stock of the situation at any time.  

HR also benefits from analytical tools integrated into the TMS to assess the effectiveness of training courses. They can monitor participation and feedback from participants to identify trends and optimize future training plans.  

In addition, a TMS can connect with other HRMS software already in place (talent management, payroll, etc.) to ensure that social data is consistent and correctly synchronized.   

By combining these levers, organizations can maximize the effectiveness of their training plans!
