How to Effectively Evaluate the Results of Your Training Program, 2000 Engineering Conference Proceedings

Elinor C. Greene, Ph.D.--Training is a powerful force in maximizing human performance in the workplace. Training can teach, motivate, lead, and empower. Training, when carefully selected and implemented, can play a vital role in achieving the goals of any organization. But there is no way to determine if training is accomplishing anything without evaluation. Evaluation is a systematic investigation of the effects of any human performance initiative.

We want to help you answer the ultimate evaluation question: Is your training producing the results your organization needs?

This workshop will provide an interactive introduction to the four levels of evaluation and the types of information they yield. Through a roundtable format, you’ll work through a real case study from our industry. You will discuss and select the best combination of techniques to create a meaningful, useful evaluation of the training situation and its results.
