Address the Key Elements of Retail and Hospitality Training

Onboarding and Training New Employees

An LMS platform can help not only streamline initial training, but allows new employees to access resources and courses when it’s most convenient for them as they transition into their new roles.

Product Knowledge & Skills Training

Whether you’re training cashiers, floor staff, salespeople, or any other retail role, product knowledge training is essential in creating confident brand ambassadors for your organization. This requires a comprehensive understanding of the key features and benefits of your goods, products, or services, how to use them, as well as an awareness of competing products or services in the market. This type of in-depth knowledge can help turn product browsers into product buyers.

Behavioral Retail Sales Training

Nurturing soft skills such as customer service, relationship-building, or time management is arguably just as important as initial onboarding and product knowledge training. If your team members can effectively communicate and form positive relationships with potential buyers, the odds of closing a sale, encouraging brand loyalty, and creating life-long customers are significantly improved.

Open LMS Provides Fully-Managed LMS Solutions for Hospitality and Retail Training

Managing an in-person, hybrid, or digital training program is no easy task, especially when you need to support the needs of team members in various geographic locations, departments, and roles. Not to mention, the hundreds of LMS platforms and numerous complementary eLearning solutions and plugins available in the market often make it difficult to determine exactly which tools will be the most effective for reaching your eLearning goals. That’s where Open LMS’s world-class LMS hosting and services come in to make providing retail and hospitality training easy!

All Resources in One Place

Open LMS WORK and Totara Learn are user-friendly solutions that will bring all of your training content and learning technologies together in a central online hub. Employees, members, volunteers, and resellers will have easy access to all their learning needs.

Measurable Learning

Analytics and custom reports allow you to quickly measure learner engagement, progress, and more. This data can enable more informed decision-making, identify top-performing individuals for promotion, or simply highlight the immediate impact of your training efforts.

Compliance & Certification

Depending on your industry, you may have strict compliance rules that must be followed. Using Open LMS WORK or Totara Learn, employees can be automatically notified when recertifications are due. Compliance reporting also makes it easy to generate reports on every employee.

Preparing Future Leaders

Retain and refine top talent by providing employees with the resources they need to advance. A corporate LMS can be used to create a catalog of courses for professional development, enabling employees to choose courses that suit their interests and allowing you to see where their skills and passions are best suited within your organization.

Personalized Learning Paths

Professional education has shifted away from a one-size-fits-all approach toward providing employees with more personalized learning. A training LMS allows organizations to provide individualized learning paths, ensuring that employees receive the specific training they need to excel in their particular roles.

Streamlined Onboarding

An effective employee onboarding process introduces new employees to the company, and communicates the corporate vision. Having all this information accessible in one place makes for a smooth transition and helps employees feel like a valuable member of the organization from day one.
