Greetings!
According to the American Society for Training &
Development (ASTD), US organizations spend
$109 billion annually on employee learning and
development. How much did YOUR company invest
in the last year on employee development? Do you
have a system in place to measure your return?
| Kirkpatrick's Training Evaluation Model |
 |
|
In 1959, Donald Kirkpatrick developed a training
evaluation four-tiered model to assist in determining
training effectiveness consisting of the following
questions:
- Did the participants like the training? (REACTION)
- Did the participants learn what was trained?
(LEARNING)
- Will the participants use the training? (BEHAVIOR)
- Will the training matter? (RESULTS)
Note: Some organizations have added a 5th level
to
measure return-on-investment (ROI)
|
| Why Measure Training Impact? |
|
|
One of our internationally-renowned training partners,
Development Dimensions International (DDI), has
published a research paper on why organizations
should measure the progress of
their training and development curricula. Here are
a few reasons:
- To make sure the curriculum is taking the
organization in the right direction.
- To determine whether the actions being taken or
behavior changes resulting from the training align with
the business case or the reasons for the change.
- To justify the costs of the training and development
curriculum that was chosen to enhance change
initiatives.

| ASTD's Annual Review of Trends in Workplace Learning and Performance |
|
|
Each year, the American Society for Training &
Development conducts a benchmarking survey on the
activities and trends of leading businesses. One
sample area includes BEST organizations, which
represent companies that demonstrate a clear link
between learning and performance.
"Approximately 38 percent of the 2006 BEST
organizations cited using or moving to the Kirkpatrick
four-level model to evaluate learning, with most
organizations implementing levels I-IV, and some
organizations adding a measurement of return-on-
investment (ROI)."
