: Operating Within Organizational Constraints. • Source: Human Resource Planning. 1992, Vol. 15 Issue 2, p63-81. 19p. 1 Diagram, 3 Charts. • Author(s): Tannenbaum, Scott I.; Woods, Steven B. • Abstract: Training is pervasive, expensive, and strategically important. To maximize the payoffs from this investment, organizations must effectively plan, implement, and evaluate their training. Historically, many companies have not “closed the loop” through systematic evaluation and thus they make many training decisions based on anecdotes, trainee reactions, hunches, or inertia. In this article we argue that training evaluation can be critical We present information about the trade-offs associated with various evaluation strategies. We highlight several organizational factors that should be considered when determining an evaluation strategy. Finally, we present a case study from a large financial service company that illustrates how organizational constraints influence the determination of an appropriate evaluation strategy • Copyright of Human Resource Planning is the property of SHRM and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder’s express written permission.
