Totara Learning Solutions to Release Performance Management Suite With Totara Version 2.5
Totara is to launch Performance Management with the release of Totara LMS version 2.5 later this month. The toolset dovetails seamlessly with Totara's overall mission; making it simple for organisations to improve employee performance.
Over the past year or so we have seen a growing demand from organisations for performance management solutions. They asked us if there was a way to integrate a solution in the same way as the rest of our LMS: open source, extremely flexible and – last but not least – more cost effectively than some of the existing systems.
Totara chief executive Richard Wyles said: “Organisations want performance management capabilities, but we’re finding similar complaints about existing systems that we were seeing about most LMS – the platforms either cannot be customised or are difficult to do so and are not integrated to enable performance measurement to flow into learning and subsequent improved performance. On top of that, thanks to licensing agreements, many can be incredibly expensive to implement.”
This month will see the launch of Totara Version 2.5, which includes a suite of Performance Management tools. The toolset will bring together many of the elements that make up the successful practice of people management and includes: Goal Setting, Assessment Builder, 360 degree Feedback and Reporting capabilities. More information about the key features is available online.
"The good news is that there are no hidden costs or extras, Performance Management comes as standard with Totara LMS." Some of the other great new functionality and improvements coming out with the release of version 2.5 are detailed online.
