Considerations in Choosing an
Evaluation Design
An evaluation design should be chosen based on an
evaluation of the factors. There are several reasons why no evaluation or a less rigorous evaluation design: –First. managers and trainers mav be unwilling to devote the time and effort necessary to collect training outcomes. –Second, managers or trainers may lack the expertise to conduct an evaluation study. –Third, a company may view training as an investment from which it expects to receive little or no return. Determining Return on Investment
Return on investment (ROI) is an important
training outcome. This section discusses how to calculate ROI through a cost-benefit analysis.
Cost-benefit analysis in this situation is the
process of determining the economic benefits of a training program using accounting methods that look at training costs and benefits. Determining Costs
One method for comparing costs of alternative
training programs is the resource requirements model compares equipment, facilities, personnel, and materials costs across different stages of the training process (needs assessment, development, training design, implementation, and evalua-tion). Determining Benefits
To identify the potential benefits of training, the
company must review the original reasons that the training was conducted. Practical Considerations in Determining ROI
ROl analysis may not be appropriate for all
training programs. Training programs best suited for ROl analysis have clearly identified outcomes, are not onetime events, are highly visible in the company, are strategically focused, and have effects that can be isolated. In the examples of ROf analysis in this chapter, the outcomes were very measurable. Success Cases and Return on Expectations Return on expectations (ROE) refers to the process through which evaluation demonstrates to key business stakehold-ers, such as top-level managers, that their expectations about training have been satisfied.? ROE depends on establishing a business partnership with business stakeholders from the start of a training program through its evaluation. Other Methods for Cost-Benefit Analysis
Other more sophisticated methods are aailable for
determining the dollar value of training.
For example, utility analysis is a costbenefit
analysis method that involves assessing the dollar value of training based Big Data and Workforce Analytics
Big data refers to complex data sets developed
by compiling data across different organizational systems, including marketing and sales, human resources, finance, accounting, customer service, and operations. Three dimensions characterize big data: volume, variety, and velocity. Measuring Human Capital and Training Activity
this chapter has focused on how to evaluate
training programs. It is important to remember that evaluation can also involve determining the extent to which learning and training activities and the training function contribute to the company strategy and help achieve business goals. Thank you.
