There are many benefits that training can have on your organization, including lower workforce churn, increased employee productivity and greater income generation. However, the true ROI (Return on Investment) of training is often considered difficult and costly to define and capture. This TMA World has developed a process that captures the positive impact of training, to ensure your organization achieves a return on investment.

“Reduction in training budgets are due, in part, to training‟s inability to demonstrate value to the organization”

“Some very real barriers do exist - additional, time, costs, skills & resources”

Practically, however, the ROI calculation alone is an imperfect measurement which must be used in conjunction with other performance measurement tools

“As a tool ROI does not enjoy widespread application”

“What is our intent in collecting this data?”

“Not all training programmes are candidates for ROI”

Total Cost

X 100

ROI Calculation

ROI % = €50,000

X 100

= 1 x 100 = 100% ROI

€100,000-€50,000 Math is not the problem!
