How You Can Assess The Effectiveness of Your Training – Kirkpatrick Model
Training is only effective when the organization benefits from the training its employees receive
The value of training sessions, courses and other training materials is not relevant until a full evaluation of the training takes place. The challenge that the majority of companies face is that measuring the effectiveness of its training programs uses resources and time. With more and more organizations facing a shortage of resources and time, it becomes increasingly hard to devote either of these to evaluating training programs.
Training evaluations uncover valuable information the business needs to know to continue with the training program as it is. Additionally, evaluations of training programs can uncover what tweaks are required to make the training even more effective than it is.
