Frequently asked questions

What is a performance and learning management system?

A performance and learning management system (PLMS) is a platform that connects employee development directly to measurable business performance. Unlike a traditional LMS that focuses on course delivery and completion, a PLMS like Thrive aligns pathways, skills tracking, mentoring and tasks to real outcomes so learning drives performance, not just compliance.

What is the best employee performance management software?

The best employee performance management software connects learning, skills development and coaching to measurable business outcomes in one platform. Thrive is rated highly on G2 and Capterra and is used by organisations like Vodafone, British Airways and IWG. Unlike standalone performance review tools, Thrive combines structured pathways, mentoring, skills tracking and analytics so performance improvement is continuous, not annual.

What is performance enablement?

Performance enablement is the practice of giving employees the tools, knowledge, coaching and structure they need to perform at their best, continuously. It goes beyond traditional performance management by connecting learning and development directly to day-to-day performance rather than relying on annual reviews and ratings.

How does a performance and learning management system differ from a traditional LMS?

A traditional LMS focuses on delivering and tracking courses. A performance and learning management system goes further by connecting learning to skills, goals, mentoring and measurable performance outcomes. Thrive bridges this gap by combining structured pathways, real-world tasks, coaching and mentoring, and performance analytics in one platform.

What performance enablement features does Thrive include?

Thrive includes structured pathways, real-world tasks and assessments, skills and goal tracking, mentoring, analytics dashboards and mobile access as standard. Every feature is designed to connect learning directly to performance so development translates into measurable business impact.

How do you measure the impact of performance enablement?

You can measure performance enablement by tracking skills progression, goal completion, task application, mentoring engagement and pathway progress across teams. Thrive provides analytics dashboards that connect learning activity to performance outcomes so you can see which development is driving real business results and where to focus next.
