ROI of Training Model Collect Data Isolate the Effects of Training Convert Data to Monetary Values Identify Intangible Benefits Calculate ROI of Training Tabulate Program Costs www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Collecting Data • Identify appropriate performance indicators • Develop a collection plan Collect Data www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Example of performance indicators Output • • • • • • Units produced Items sold Work backlog New accounts opened Productivity Inventory turnover www.24x7learning.com Time • • • • • • Equipment downtime Overtime Time to project completion Processing time Repair time Lost time days © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Example of performance results Some performance results after training program Scrap Reduced from a 11 to 7.4 % www.24x7learning.com Absenteeism Dropped from 7 to 3.25 % Turn over Reduced from 30 to 16% Lost time Accidents came down to 95% © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Isolating the effects of training 1. Using Control Group 2. Trend Lines Methods to Isolate the Effects of Training 3. Participants Estimate 4. Supervisors of Participants Estimate www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Isolating the Effects of Training 1. Using Control Group www.24x7learning.com • A control group arrangement can be used to isolate training impact • With this strategy, one group receives training, while another, similar group does not receive training • The difference in the performance of the two groups is attributed to the training program. © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Isolating the Effects of Training 2. Trend Lines www.24x7learning.com • Trend lines are used to project the values of specific output variables if training had not been undertaken. • The projection is compared to the actual data after training, and the difference represents the estimate impact of training. © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Trend Lines Analysis Actual sales performance At the beginning of May, a Sales training Program session was held Volume of Sales The difference represents the estimate impact of training. Trend Projection Jan www.24x7learning.com Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Aug Isolating the Effects of Training 3. Participants Estimate of Training’s Impact www.24x7learning.com • This method rests on the assumption that participants are capable of estimating how much a performance improvement is related to the training program • Because their actions have produced the improvement, participants (and their supervisors) may have very accurate input on the issue • They should know how much of the change was caused by applying what they have learned in the program © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Isolating the Effects of Training Typical Questions to Estimate : • What percent this improvement can be attributed to the application of skills/techniques/knowledge gained in the training program? • What confidence do you have in this estimate, expresses as a percent? • What other factors contributed to this improvement in performance? 4. Participants and Supervisors of Participants Estimate of Training’s Impact www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Converting Data to Monetary Values Steps to Convert Data to Monetary Values Converting Data to Monetary Values www.24x7learning.com 1. Focus on a unit of improvement 2. Determine a value of each unit 3. Calculate the change in performance data 4. Determine an annual amount of change 5. Calculate the annual value of improvement © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Steps to Convert Data to Monetary Values An example to illustrate the steps to convert data to monetary values Steps Illustration 1. Focus on unit improvement • 2. Determine a value of each unit • www.24x7learning.com Reaching the measure unit in the four-step customer complain resolution process Using internal experts, the cost of an average complaint was estimated to be $ 6,500 when considering time and direct costs (V = $ 6,500) © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Steps to Convert Data to Monetary Values Steps Illustration 3. Calculate the change in performance data • 4. Determine an annual amount for the change • www.24x7learning.com • Six months after the program was completed, total complains per month declined by ten Seven of the then grievance reductions were related to the program as determined by supervisors (isolating the effects of training) Using the six month value, seven per month (complain reductions), yields an annual improvement of 84 (7 x 12 months) © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Steps to Convert Data to Monetary Values Steps 5. Calculate the annual value of improvement www.24x7learning.com Illustration • Annual value = value (units appreciated x 6,500) 84 x $ 6,500 = $ 546,000 © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Tabulating Cost of the Program Tabulating cost of the program www.24x7learning.com • Tabulating the costs involves monitoring or developing all of the related costs of the program targeted for the ROI calculation © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Tabulating Cost of the Program Cost components that should be included are : Tabulating cost of the program www.24x7learning.com • Travel, lodging, and meal costs for the participants • Salaries, plus employee benefits of the participants who attend the training • Administrative and overhead costs of the training function, allocated in some convenient way • Cost of designing developing the program © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. An Example to Illustrate ROI analysis A sales training program delivered to 34 retail sales associates, which results in an increase in sales contributing an increase in profits to the organization of $120,000 per year. The total cost of the program was $90,000 The benefit cost ratio is BCR = $120,000: $90,000 = 1.33:1 In other words, for every $1.00 spent on the training program, $1.33 is a return www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. An Example to Illustrate ROI analysis The ROI of the program is: ROI= Profit – cost of program x 100 Cost of program ROI = $120,000 -$90,000 x 100 $90,000 = $30,000 x 100 $90,000 = 33% This means that every dollar spent on the training program is returned and an additional $0.33 is returned as profit or a profit of 33% www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited. Intangible Benefits Intangible variables includes such as • Stress reduction • Employee engagement • Grievance reduction • Improved customer satisfaction • Complaint reduction • Conflict reduction/avoidance www.24x7learning.com © 2013, Copyright, 24x7 Learning Private Limited.
