Training employees is a tremendous undertaking, so of course employers want to ensure that their resources are being used appropriately. How can you tell if your training and development programs are delivering results? Start by evaluating if the program covers what your employees need to know. Ensuring that your training program covers specific learning objectives seems like an obvious first step, but this point is consistently missed. In the same vein, include a mechanism for evaluation in each training. This will help ensure the training module is being used effectively. Also, directly ask employees if the training is helping. Employee feedback is crucial in determining if a training program will be helpful.
