Between national and state agendas, community expectations and regional talent scarcity, local governments face many workforce challenges. A good Performance LMS can make all the difference. For more content like this, check out Acorn Labs: http://acornlabs.education/

How the right system
boosts efficiency

2. What is the LMS used for?
A local government learning management system (LMS) is used
to provide both internal employee training and external public
training.
But if we want to get really specific, it acts as a central location
for hosting, distributing and reporting on the learning and
development (L&D) of a council workforce.

3. The difference for local government
Councils manage matters close to home like building
regulations and development, roads, health inspections,
community support services and waste management.
As such, their L&D needs differ from their state and federal
counterparts.

4. The difference for local government
The talent pool for local government also isn’t as wide as
state or federal. Employees are usually locals and live
regionally, which can exacerbate skills or capability shortages
in smaller communities.
This makes professional development – and an accessible
location in which to do it – crucial.

5. Finding the right provider
When choosing an LMS for your local government’s needs,
ensure you find a provider who already supplies government
(thereby understanding the intricacies of your learning
environment) and has iron-clad security within the system.

Use Cases

8. Compliance Training
Compliance is usually time sensitive. An LMS provides
easier, automated management of various regulations and
expected behaviours.

9. Leadership & Succession Training
A shortage of incoming talent means leadership
development is necessary for creating critical human-centric
capabilities.

10. Internal & External Training
Councils often must provide public education on schemes
and initiatives as much as they do employee upskilling.
Secure, separate tenancies within an LMS are a key
functionality.

11. Reporting
Fully-fledged learning analytics are the key to effective
learning. As it’s an automated and integrated feature of
the LMS, it’s one of the benefits online training has over
face to face.

Local Gov

13. Organisation Scaling
Across changing regulations, disabilities and rural locales,
an LMS has the ability to simultaneously deploy training for
multiple capabilities, roles, compliance and industry needs.
This gives equal opportunity to those who may not
otherwise be able to obtain qualifications.

14. Automated Compliance
Manually managing compliance needs for dozens, if not
hundreds, of roles is an impossible task for HR
professionals.
LMS compliance training means learners can access a
training system on the go and enables new information to
be as securely and quickly populated as needed.

15. Centralised Reporting
It makes the most sense to store any data where you collect
it. Professional development plans can be created within a
local government LMS.
Learner progress and completion data can be reported on
by admin in the system, and any necessary changes to
training materials or programs immediately actioned.
