Totara Perform is an agile performance management system designed to empower learning and development (L&D) teams in increasing engagement and enhancing workplace productivity.
It allows teams to increase productivity by using flexible, frequent performance check-ins between managers and mentors, to develop the needs of individuals. Helping to shape career paths, drive positive change and bring businesses one step closer to achieving their corporate goals.
Harnessing the power of continuous performance management to boost workplace productivity, Totara Perform allows teams to set their own learning course, from which learning and development teams can then tailor performance management practices.
Totara Perform increases learner engagement and aligns employees and management to boost performance and identify skills gaps. As a result, learning and development teams have accurate, data-based insights into areas for career development and upskilling their workforce.
Thanks to its open-source, flexible frameworks Totara Perform provides learning and development teams with the freedom to adapt and innovate around the needs of their organisation.
Totara Perform is adaptable, interchangeable, and tailored for the needs of each business.

Yes, Totara Learn can be used as a stand-alone Learning Management System, or alternatively, it can be combined with its sister products, Engage and Perform to provide a 360-degree learning and development solution.
Yes, Totara’s multi-tenancy functionality is ideal for organisations who want to run several learning management systems but retain central management, administration, or resource sharing to some extent. Each tenant site can have its own branding, courses, content, etc., and from a user viewpoint is a self-contained LMS. On the system level, tenants can be managed centrally, and sharing settings, resources, etc. between them is far simpler than it would be with separate platforms.
BuildEmpire offers various support and training options to help you get the most out of Totara. These options can include webinars, user forums, and personalised training sessions. The specific offerings may vary, so it’s best to reach out to our team to discuss your organisation’s support and training needs.

An LMS is designed to manage formal learning, whereas a Learning Experience Platform like Totara Engage is specifically designed to manage informal learning—the kind that happens on the job, between colleagues, and is often not formally recognised. It aims to record and track those valuable instances of knowledge transfer and content creation which might otherwise go under the radar.
Yes, Totara Engage is a versatile platform that can be used not only for internal employee training but also for customer and partner training and engagement. You can set up separate environments to serve different audiences while maintaining central management and administration.
Totara Perform is a separate product within the Totara Talent Experience Platform (TXP). While Totara Learn is focused on formal learning and training, and Totara Engage emphasises informal learning and knowledge sharing, Totara Perform is designed to manage performance management, including setting goals, appraisals, and feedback.
Totara Perform provides tools and features to help organisations set performance goals, track progress, conduct regular performance appraisals, and provide feedback to employees.
