Training Assessment
Best Practices & Lessons Learned
The majority of assessments are not only statistically
unsound, but are frequently implemented in a way to
hinder participant buy-in, diminish relevance, and waste
valuable resources.
The primary purpose of any training assessment should be to help answer
the questions:
- What is holding us back?
- Where should we focus?
Moreover, training assessment should
reflect the environment in
which they
are implemented, be rooted in outcomes versus opinions, and benchmark skills to actual performance
to help steer strategy.
If properly designed and implemented,
training assessments have the potential
to provide powerful insight to
help training, human resources and line-mangers:
- Create alignment
- Initiate the change management process
- Isolate skill gaps against a proven standard
- Customize workshop curriculum
- Target development areas with the
greatest business impact
- Obtain participant buy-in
