Measuring employee performance has become more complex as organizations expand their learning ecosystems, adopt digital training tools, and build role-based development programs. While learning and development teams rely on training to build skills and support business outcomes, many struggle to understand whether their programs are actually working.
A modern LMS can help—but only if you’re using analytics and reporting strategically.
Customized reporting is one of the most powerful ways to evaluate performance, track progress, and connect learning to organizational results. When LMS reporting is aligned with L&D goals, organizations gain clear insights into whether employees are growing, engaged, compliant, and ready for their next role.
Standard LMS reports often scratch the surface, but they rarely provide the depth required to understand:
Customized reporting turns training data into actionable intelligence—helping organizations make smarter decisions about workforce development.
Several core metrics can highlight strengths, weaknesses, and patterns across your learning programs:
Indicates whether learners remain engaged and complete the required content.
Shows how quickly learners progress through material—useful for onboarding and compliance.
Reveals which learning formats (video, modules, microlearning, instructor-led) best support performance.
Helps identify courses that may be confusing or require reinforcement.
Shows how actively learners engage with optional or developmental content.
Highlights competency levels and potential knowledge gaps.
Uncovers how employees prefer to learn—critical for frontline, field, and mobile workers.
Connects training outcomes to long-term employee behavior and readiness.
Together, these metrics help L&D leaders understand how training impacts performance—not just whether employees completed a course.
Most LMS platforms provide standard reports, but they’re often not flexible enough to answer organization-specific questions, such as:
