OnTrack International are pleased announce the results of their largest ever survey within the L&D arena.  The aim of the survey was to establish if measuring the value of learning and development achieves anything, and if so, what the best practices on this topic are. 

The online survey was sent to over 5,000 L&D and HR professionals from a wide range of industries.  The majority of replies were from professionals working in organisations which employ more than 1,000 people.  Respondents were asked to consider their more significant L&D projects when replying to the questions presented.

The survey revealed that respondents who established success measures prior to delivery had greater success further down the line. 90% of those who established success measures regularly measured commercial value, creating a significantly stronger alignment between L&D and the business.  For those that rarely measure success prior to delivery, only 33% said evaluation has created a significant alignment between L&D and the business.

Virtually all respondents appear to undertake some sort of measurement and evaluation but only 20% put any significant effort into this activity.  Those that embark on this found there is a direct correlation between budgets being protected and senior management approval, believing L&D adds significant value to the business - vital in this challenging economic climate.
