Empirical Evaluation of Human Resource Development Measures

Empirical evaluation of your company’s measures for continuing education, in particular the identification of the measures’ ROI

Evaluation of the success of your Human Resource Development measures regarding:

  • Satisfaction/benefit analysis of participants.
  • Learning progress (specialist expertise and behavioral knowledge).
  • Learning transfer success: Transfer of the learnt material to day-to-day work.
  • Organizational results: ROI based on performance appraisals carried out after the implementation of measures.
    Efficiency: application of a pre-developed computer-supported tool to calculate the cost-benefit value of Human Resource Development measures.

Implementation: Online distribution of questionnaires to participants and other individuals at several points in time before and after the measures.

Time investment: Depending on the extent of the evaluation, approx. 10 minutes per survey unit and participant.

Benefits to you: Bases for decision-making about future measures in the field of Human Resource Development (regarding contents); grounds for arguing in favor of investment in this area (monetary).
