Questions That Could Form the Basis of a Transfer of Training Survey Are:
- Did instructional designers, trainers, and line managers work together in partnership, or was work on the program done in isolation with little collaboration?
- Were non-training solutions seriously considered, or was a training request received and an off-the-shelf solution delivered?
- Were training outcomes stated in behavior and performance terms, or were outcomes unstated or stated in fuzzy terms?
- Were training objectives tied to stated organizational objectives, or were they left floating in the organizational ether?
- Were managers and supervisors actively involved before, during, and after the program, or was the program divorced from the employees' day-to-day work?
- Was post-training support provided back in the workplace, such as coaching and on-the-job aids, or were employees left to flounder with no opportunity to practice?
- Were new procedures and role expectations clearly communicated to employees, or were they left wondering why they were nominated for the program?
- Were workplace performance expectations agreed with employees prior to the training, or was it back to "business as usual"?
- Was the training integrated with a well-thought-out and implemented change or improvement program, or was the training a single-point "silver bullet" solution?
- Did you measure the organizational impact of the program, or rely solely on "happy sheets" for feedback?
