Rationale for ROI Study • Intuitively knew we were doing work beneficial to employers • Our numbers were telling the story of individuals, but not employers • Have an opportunity to make the case that serving frontline workers is beneficial to employers
Why ROI and not Business Value? • Easily recognizable term • Even though there are many non-fiscal benefits, ROI drives business decisions • There are many initiatives with non-fiscal benefits; we wanted to make ours stand out from other initiatives
Project Concept (Benefits – Costs) • Analysis Outline • HCC has two tiers of training • Short-term certificate • Long-term associate degree • One large employer provided data • Short-term participants N=525 • Long-term participants N=90 • Timeframe – 2005 through 2013, expected completion of currently enrolled cohorts • Matched comparison group – participants relative to incumbents in similar occupations hired at similar times • Annual calculation of costs and benefits based on number of individuals in each cohort and stage of progress Basic Formula = Investment
Factors Used Factors used were principally determined by the ability to collect data and ability to relate costs and benefits directly to the program.
ROI Contributors – Long Term • The two largest costs for employers are tuition (~$12,566 per completer) and the cost of filling the prior position following promotion (~$9,000 per completer) • The two largest benefits for employers are reduced cost of filling new position (~$24,438 per completer) and reduced turnover while in program (~$2,214 per completer)
ROI Contributors – Short Term • Employers pay no tuition (WIA, scholarships or private pay) • The program costs are due to a slightly higher rate of absenteeism and administrative costs • The two largest benefits for employers are reduced recruitment cost of filling new positions and reduced turnover while in program
Non-monetized benefits • Increasing diversity of staff • Providing advancement opportunities for staff • Improved staff morale • Fulfillment of the community service mission of the hospital
