The strategy, "Evaluating training effectiveness," aims to boost training outcomes using data and feedback. One key approach is implementing feedback mechanisms. For instance, post-training surveys allow participants to share their experiences, and 360-degree feedback offers insight from peers and supervisors. These insights help identify trends and ensure training improvements.
Another strategy involves data analytics. By integrating learning management systems, progress and performance indicators are monitored. Data visualisation, such as dashboards, highlights key insights and aids in refining training content. Lastly, enhancing reporting systems ensures comprehensive reports through standardised templates and regular reviews, linking outcomes to organisational goals.
