First the Good News 1. Top Training 100 companies Training investment = 4% of payroll (Industry Average 2%) 92% Evaluate business impact to Level 4 (Industry Average 11%) (Training magazine, March 2003)
Good News (…continued) 2. ASTD 3-year Study (576 Companies) Impact of Training Investment on Total Shareholder Return (TSR) IMPACT ON TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN (TSR) FIRMS IN TOP HALF OF RANKING: - TSR 86% higher than firms in bottom half of ranking - TSR 45% higher than S&P 500 firms
Now the Bad News… Most of your training investment is wasted
International Perspectives on Learning and PerformanceASTD, Robinson & Robinson 1996 “On average, less than 30 % percent of what people learn (in training) actually gets used on the job.”
Transfer of TrainingBroad and Newstrom, 1992 "Most of the investment in organizational training...is wasted because most of the knowledge and skills gained...(well over 80 percent by some estimates) is not fully applied by those employees on the job.”
Baldwin & Ford, 1988Reconfirmed by Ford & Weinstein, 1997 “American industries annually spend more than $100 billion on training…not more than 10% of the expenditures actually result in transfer to the job."
Why? Did learner understand management’s expectations? Was it the training? Was it the instructor? Lack of support on the job? Lack of incentives to apply new skills?

Why don’t organizations evaluate more? “Its not a lack of interest or importance —but rather a lack of tools and expertise.” The Time is Now Josh Bersin, 2003
