What is Totara?

Whether you’re looking to boost compliance rates, deliver learning at scale or maximise staff retention through effective onboarding and upskilling, Totara has the tools for you. Combining formal and informal learning with performance management, your Totara LMS helps you to deliver for your people.
Your users aren’t just learners. They’re the people who make your organisation tick. So along with supporting their formal learning, they also need to be engaged with the work they’re doing and able to perform to a high standard. But they don’t want to go to one system for learning, another for collaboration and yet another for their annual appraisal. Combining learning, collaboration and performance increases productivity and engagement across your teams.
And that’s where Totara comes in. Totara combines structured learning with powerful collaborative tools and a comprehensive performance management system under a single and highly customisable architecture. So if you’re looking to enhance and streamline your employee experience, you’ve come to the right place.
