How Can I Measure Training Effectiveness and Identify Trainers in My Organization?

Hello Friends....

After completing the training programme, how should I identify the training effectiveness for the organization and also for the employees? I am a fresher and I just want to know on what basis "The Training Effectiveness" is calculated. After being given the training, how can I identify the trainers within the organization? Please reply with suggestions.

Regards,
Vidya

Dear Vidya,

What was your training topic?
The effectiveness of training will depend on various factors, which you can find out from the feedback form. There are a few points to consider:

- Reaction to training
- Knowledge acquired
- Skill improvement
- Attitude shift
- Behavior change
- Organizational results
- ROI

You will have to monitor the participants/client post-training.

Hello Vidya. You can evaluate the effectiveness of a training program at one or more levels. The most popular method of evaluating the effectiveness of training is Donald Kirkpatrick's four level evaluation model:
Level 1 - Reaction
How did participants react to the program?
Level 2 - Learning
To what extent did participants improve knowledge and skills and change attitudes as a result of the training?
Level 3 - Behavior
To what extent did participants change their behavior back in the workplace as a result of the training?
Level 4 – Results
What organizational benefits resulted from the training?
