Learning and Training Effectiveness
We acknowledge that even the most well-designed and well-received training programs are of little use unless what is learned in training gets implemented on the job. This is often called the transfer of learning to behavior. If what was learned translates into improved job performance, then it is possible for better organizational results to be achieved. If training evaluation shows that on-the-job performance increased and results improved, then training effectiveness has occurred which enables us to show the organization value of the trainings we offer. By gathering data related to effective training and training effectiveness, we can credibly show the value that training has brought to the organization.
We use the “New World Kirkpatrick Model” which is Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Training Evaluation Model developed further by James and Wendy Saffron Kirkpatrick who together revised and clarified the basic principles of the model:-
