Although we all know that training can have many awesome benefits, sometimes it can be hard to prove those benefits and attach a dollar value to training. Some topics, like sales training or time management, might have direct, tangible benefits. Other topics, like communication or leadership, might have benefits that you can’t put a dollar value on.
With our Measuring Training Results course, learn about the different ways to evaluate training progress, and how to use those results to demonstrate Return On Investment (ROI). Mulitple your ROI by learning how to review, and then adapt and modify the outcomes to create adaptive content and highly focused learners.
