Job Qualifications: More Powerful with a Results-Oriented Job Description
Job qualifications are frequently vague, providing a troublesome standard for judging a job applicant’s ability to perform the job. “Must have an outgoing personality.” No help here.

But it is a fact that many L&D executives and suppliers have to find ways of justifying the spend in terms of concrete results. Corporate culture expert Carol Wilson looks at methods and tools for measuring the return on coaching programmes from the beginning to the end of the project, and tying that return into hard figures.
