Press Release Body: According to a survey from learning and development consultancy
MaST International, the biggest driver for measuring and evaluating training is to
demonstrate the positive impact of training on the business (34% of respondents).
This was followed by the desire to allocate training spend more wisely in the future
(24%) and to justify the training budget (19%).
The survey of over 80 HR professionals was carried out at HRD 2005. It found that
course evaluation forms (26%) and anecdotal feedback (21%) are the most popular ways
of measuring the effectiveness of training with just 8% of respondents using pre and
post course diagnostics.
The survey also found that only one in five link course work to real-work projects
and activities, and that 60% of the HR professionals surveyed do not have a specific
budget for measurement and evaluation of training initiatives.
James Sena, Head of Client Development at MaST said: \"Our survey shows that despite
the acknowledgement that training should be properly evaluated, very little
evaluation actually occurs on how training positively impacts people\'s ability to do
their job.\"
