Measuring Training Results

There are lots of good reasons to offer training, and even more reasons to participate and take training. But there is also an accountability element, where we ask ourselves:

  • What was the value of that training?
  • Did we meet the objectives that were set out?
  • Did the training bring about some kind of lasting change in behavior?

In this two-day workshop, we’ll explore the essential elements in evaluating training and measuring results, while creating a process that is simple for trainers and human resource practitioners to implement.
