HR HOMEWORK
Part 5: Determine the Training or Intervention Cost and Quantify Expected Results
Course Project is conducting a cost-benefit analysis. Training costs must be evaluated against anticipated results. (You can find information about the costs of certain training/programs and such online– use your best guess if you cannot find hard data to support the costs). This will only be palatable if, in the initial assessment, specific behaviors and processes and their impacts on the performance of the organization were determined. If so, conducting this final analytical segment should be possible.
Part 6: Develop a Method of Training Evaluation
Source recent journal articles to support findings. In text citation, references…. no copied work.
Once you have completed the training, how will you know whether it has been successful? There are a variety of ways to evaluate training and development programs. Clearly identify the specific outcomes you expect from the project. Then develop a method of evaluating the effectiveness of your project.
