Practical Methods for Evaluating the Training Effectiveness

Training can often result in “learning scrap,” where employees are trained but fail to apply their newly acquired skills. This can result in a waste of organizational resources, time, and effort. Conducting training effectiveness evaluations can help identify which training programs are creating a positive impact and which are not. By evaluating training effectiveness, organizations can ensure that only the most impactful programs are continued, while those that are not adding value can be stopped or modified.

In many organizations, Learning and Development (L&D) is viewed as a luxury function and is often the first to get budget cuts during tough times. L&D leaders must present business impact data to showcase the value of their function and present it as a strategic rather than a luxury function. It is the responsibility of L&D leaders to conduct training effectiveness evaluations and present the results to elevate the function’s importance.

In this course, you will learn the what, why, how, and when of training effectiveness evaluation, giving you the hands-on capabilities to apply it in your organization. By addressing learning waste and showcasing the value of L&D, organizations can ensure that training is impactful and L&D is viewed as a crucial function for success.
