Measuring Training Effectiveness: How to Get Started
So, you’ve been asked by your manager to demonstrate the effectiveness of the training programs you deliver. You may have been running the obligatory “smile sheets”. However, these are no longer sufficient in showing your worth to the organization. Where do you begin in sorting out the complexities of training evaluation? Find out with this starters guide.
Introduction - MicroStart: Finding and Feeding Breakthroughs
UNDP's Special Unit for Microfinance (SUM) commissioned a mid-term evaluation of its MicroStart program to take place in September-October 1999. SUM believed that an evaluation at this time would identify areas for improvement while there was still time to make changes. SUM directed us, as evaluators, to focus on the validity of the assumptions underlying MicroStart and on the processes used to implement it, rather than on the impact of the program.
Gathering Good Requirements
Successful training programs come from knowing exactly what the training must accomplish for the business, the department, and the individual. They don't just happen. Whether you are developing or contracting training, use these steps to improve your requirements-gathering process, spend less time doing it, and drive more effective training:

Tips on Creating Surveys to Measure Employee Satisfaction
Employee evaluation on both the organizational and individual level is often one of the most forgotten about and underutilized tools in the workplace. The sense I get is that it is overlooked because people are afraid of surveys either because they don’t know how to use them properly or they don’t know what to do with the information once they get it. Whatever the reason, surveys and evaluation don’t have to be long, cumbersome and complicated exercises that render meaningless results. Rather, it’s just a matter of obtaining some insight that can guide you through the process as you craft a system that works best for you.

Don’t Subtract the ADDIE
All HR professionals should know about the ADDIE model - particularly those involved with employee training and development. ADDIE stands for: * Analysis/Assessment * Design * Development * Implementation * Evaluation The ADDIE model is integral to instructional design. Here are some questions to ask under each of the ADDIE headings:

What are Training Brokers
Training brokers exist to help companies plan the training for their employees and to help organize further education for staffers. Intensive training needs often require some form of middle ground in order to sufficiently classify the proceedings, which is where a training brokerage comes in handy. It can be difficult to conclude whether training needs to be outsourced or take place in house, but a training broker can help gauge business needs and lead to decisions on diverse related matters. In short, a training broker completes the associated tasks with organizing training for employees. Any directorial tasks, such as scheduling or budgetary scrutiny, can also be left to the broker. He or she will work within a complex of allied groups to supply the business owner with the essential information about training programs,etc.
Is Your Sales Training Missing These Ingredients?
The last time you went on sales training, were you engaged in the decision? How long was the sale training and/or was the sales training ongoing or was it just the flavor of the month? When or what day(s) of the week was the sales training delivered - during pay time or no pay time? Did the sales training take your personal sales needs and learning methods into consideration? Were you able to apply the sales training methods in the real world? Were you encouraged to return for further sales training or to meet with your sales coach and discuss your experience? Was the sales training based on sales management objectives?

Types of Business Leaders
Business leaders continuously evaluate their business results and their business tactics to ensure optimum benefits for the business. They want to know what works best in terms of costs and of profits. When making this evaluation, leaders usually follow up with an evaluation of their personal strengths and weaknesses, because they know that the quality of their interpretation of events has a direct effect on business results. This sort of orientation is more or less standard for most progressive business establishments.

The 2011 Strategic Planning Checklist: Evaluate Your Strategic Planning Process and Strategy Effectiveness
One of our most popular articles last year dealt with a simple checklist for evaluating strategic planning process effectiveness. Having ushered in the new year and a fresh decade, we decided it would be a worthwhile exercise to revisit the list and analysis done last year and submit an updated, more fitting set of evaluation criteria for 2011. There are new criteria added in this year’s evaluation, and many that have carried over from last year but have enhanced analysis.
