TextPublication details: London Kogan Page Limited 2014 Description: xv, 274 pISBN: 9780749471002Subject(s): Organizational learning | Employees--Training of--EvaluationDDC classification: 658.3124 Summary: While substantial advances have been made in the L&D profession over the last decade, evaluation remains by far the weakest part of the L&D cycle. Most organisations wish to evaluate the impact of their investment in training but few do it well, and the lack of effective methods is one of the key barriers.
Complete Training Evaluation addresses these issues by providing practitioner friendly but academically robust information and guidance on how to evaluate all forms of learning and development. It draws on the author's own multidisciplinary research along with his practical experience of working with private and public sector organisations carrying out evaluations. The book provides practitioners with accessible 'how-to' knowledge and tools to undertake evaluations of both formal and informal learning
