How Can I Create a Tool to Measure Training Effectiveness and Reinforcement Techniques?

Please let me know how to go about forming a tool to measure training effectiveness. What are the reinforcement techniques that could be used? Grateful if you could guide me with some forms or formats to use.

Hi Premilla,

Here are some tips which might be useful for you for measuring training effectiveness:

1. Type of training (Technical/Communication and Soft skills)
2. Date of Training
3. Trainer Name
4. Supervisor/Reporting Manager name of the trainee at the time of training
5. Inputs from the supervisor/Reporting Manager before the training (Ratings can be 1 - 5). You can take the specific skill set name and define the parameters on which the participant is nominated for that particular training.
6. Timeline for measuring the effectiveness i.e. after 1/2/3 months of training.
7. As per the timeline defined by you, ask the supervisor/reporting manager to evaluate the participant based upon those ratings on which the participant has been nominated for the training. The supervisor/Reporting Manager is able to check the participant's confidence based upon the utilization of the skill of the participant after training.

For Employee Reinforcement Techniques, you can use the attached reference document.
