Evaluating training effectiveness is critical to ensure training programs support business objectives. If not, they become redundant.

When employees train often and learn effectively, the results usually show up in organizational performance. There's also a mountain of research-based evidence that links effective training to exceptional performance.

Yet, surprisingly, a Brandon Hall Group research brief indicated that 9% of organizations surveyed did not see a need to link training-induced behavioral changes to business performance. Because many organizations have entrenched training as standard operating practices, they therefore lack proper metrics to measure training and its contribution to positive business outcomes.

Here are some compelling reasons for evaluating training effectiveness.

1. Justify Training Spending And Secure Further Budgets
Shareholders, Boards of Directors, and Executive teams hold business leaders accountable for their spending plans. The better the justification for those spends, the more likely those funds continue to flow. If L&D managers wish to secure ongoing funding for their learning initiatives, they must evaluate the effectiveness of training program spending and justify the ongoing need for those programs.

2. Measure The Impact Of Training Programs
The primary goal of any training plan must be to support business objectives. It is only by evaluating the impact of training programs that business leaders can get objective metrics on how well those programs work to support business objectives.

3. Improve The Impact Of Training Programs
When training aligns with business objectives, an in-depth training evaluation is the only way that learning leaders can identify important KPIs to make training more relevant. By measuring the results of a program, L&D teams can evaluate those results against predetermined KPIs and enhance or improve training plans based on that assessment.
