In a competitive market where businesses and individuals constantly strive to identify value, having a workforce which is trained, competent and confident in what they do is an enviable business advantage.
When you are serious about developing your people, you need systems to support you. A TMS is a major component of the solution.
Benefits of the Right TMS
A good cloud-based TMS delivered efficiently and professionally supported can offer outstanding benefits to your organisation, including:
- The assurance of knowing that the training records of your students, employees, contractors, trainees, learners, suppliers and customers are securely and accurately maintained with little or no extra effort on your part.
- Streamlined efficiency without duplication across multiple systems.
- Accurate and timely reporting delivered to the people who need the information when they need it.
- Recognition of training needs at individual, team and organisation levels.
- Plans and processes that deliver competency and skills across the organisation helping you to meet your commitments, compliance and business goals and consistently and efficiently
- An energised, confident workforce of high achievers and team players.
- The ability to focus on training and all the other needs and pressures that you business demands without having to spend countless hours manually and laboriously filling in spreadsheets to track who has what competencies.
- A TMS delivers a consistent and repeatable methodology with predictable outcomes, so your staff don’t have to 'make it up' on the fly.
- If you deliver training externally a TMS immediately becomes part of your quality management system.
- The TMS provides an attractive, fun-to-us interface for your students, your administrators, managers and training professionals. A good TMS can be an addictively powerful productivity tool and the workhorse of your training business.
- The option to offer fully integrated blended online and face to face training across your customer spectrum.
- If you’re an RTO, a TMS addresses all your VET compliance reporting requirements with minimal effort including the requirement to story key training records for up to 30 years. At the same time, it will help you quickly comply with your regulatory obligation to easily generate accurate AVETMISS reports.
- Ability to accept online payments and accurately invoice your clients while capturing accurate and supportable financial data. (This is especially important if financial transparency is a reporting obligation to your industry).
- The security of knowing that your data and services are securely managed in state-of-the-art data centres with no in-house infrastructure costs.
- Finally, the knowledge that if anything did go wrong you have the support of a reliable vendor who can immediately get you back on track keep your system up-to-date.
