Listen to the Voices of Measuring and Evaluating Training: Jac Fitz-enz

The ASTD Handbook of Measuring and Evaluating Training, edited by Patti Phillips, has just released. This book serves as a comprehensive go-to reference and a roadmap to developing effective processes. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, chosen for their experience and actual results in specific areas. From evaluation planning and data collection, to data analysis and measurement, you'll gain insights and practical advice from individuals who have applied their tools and methods in organizations worldwide. At the end of the book, a special section called "Voices" hosted by Rebecca Ray features summarized interviews with eight world-renowned gurus. These complete interviews are available as podcasts online!

Our next expert podcast is from Jac Fitz-enz, PhD, a pioneer in human capital strategic analysis and measurement. After holding senior corporate human resource positions, he founded the Saratoga Institute and developed the first international human resource benchmarking service. He later launched the Human Capital Source and the Workforce Intelligence Institute to take human capital valuation to the next level. Named by the Society for Human Resource Management as one of the 50 most influential people in human capital management, two of his books were selected by SHRM for the "Book of the Year" Award: Human Value Management: The Value-Adding Human Resource Management Strategy for the 1990s (1990) and The ROI of Human Capital: Measuring the Economic Value of Employee Performance (2009). He was honored in ASTD's "Legends" series at the International Conference in 2005.
