Introduction Summary:<\/h2>\n

The average spend graph of workplace training per employee is northbound according to the Statista research. With the rising corporate training costs, it becomes imperative to gauge the effectiveness of the workplace learning program. This article will explore the Kirkpatrick Model for the efficacious evaluation of corporate training.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

As per Statista, in 2020, the global online e-learning market was sized at approximately 250 billion U.S. dollars. A successful company needs to have a dynamic training program that will always keep it agile.<\/p>\n

Some of the benefits of an effective learning program include:<\/p>\n

Closing of skill gaps
\nEmployee retention
\nIncrease in employee engagement with learning resources
\nBoost productivity, profit margin, and ROI
\nMaintaining competitiveness of the organization in the industry
\nReceipt of employee feedback about their ability to apply the knowledge.<\/p>\n

Now, let us ponder on these questions. Is your company\u2019s learning program effective and engaging enough to yield the desired results? But then how to know whether the training is helping the employees?<\/p>\n

The Kirkpatrick Model, which is globally recognized, can be used to assess the efficacy of the eLearning module.<\/p>\n

Kirkpatrick Model<\/h2>\n

The Kirkpatrick model helps evaluate the effectiveness of the training within an organization. It is also known as Kirkpatrick\u2019s Four Levels of Training Evaluation and is widely considered the most effective training evaluation model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kirkpatrick Model of Learning Evaluation vector
\nThe Kirkpatrick Model has 4 levels: Reaction, learning, behavior, and results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s delve into each level.<\/p>\n

Level 1: Reaction<\/h2>\n

Here is a question for the readers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, taking feedback from learners on the training program is correct.<\/p>\n

The reaction level assesses whether the learner found the training engaging, useful, and relevant to their roles. There are three aspects to it. In this level, the management assesses whether the learner is satisfied and if they found the training relevant and engaging.<\/p>\n

Implementation Tips:<\/h2>\n

Include open-ended surveys at the end of the learning modules.
\nGive space for writing feedback. Alternatively, the learners can record responses.
\nSeek honest answers than polite ones.
\nFeedback can be given on content relevance, ease of learning, value addition, preferred template types, etc.<\/p>\n

Level 2: Learning<\/h2>\n

This level focuses on how much the employee has acquired knowledge, skills, and attitude, including commitment and confidence. The evaluation at this level can be both formal and informal. The post-training test could be based on knowledge or tasks (real-life or simulated).<\/p>\n
