Using real-life examples and step-by-step instructions, this consummately practical guide shows human resources professionals how to quantify outcomes in three major areas: performance, learning, and perceptions. Why measure results in HRD? If HRD is to be a core organizational process, it must act like one and hold itself accountable. Assessing results, particularly bottom-line performance results, is key to gaining support from top management. And those who measure results ultimately find it a source of program improvement and innovation as well as pride and satisfaction. Results is both theoretically sound and firmly rooted in practice. The practical five-step assessment process the authors present gives readers a simple and direct journey from analysis inputs to decision outputs. This book provides the tools required for effective and efficient assessment of the outcomes resulting from development efforts in organizations. ; TABLE OF CONTENTS:; Part. 1. Assessing Results; 1.
