    Challenges in data driven learning and development
    Data translation to impactful metrics for business growth is a hurdle in proving the value of learning content. Prioritizing learner feedback and needs from the outset ensures meaningful training delivery and perceived value in their career growth.
  • 03:03
    Optimizing survey cadence in training to mitigate fatigue and enhance learner feedback
    Offering optional immediate post-training surveys and following up at 30, 60, and 90-day intervals encourages additional feedback without overwhelming learners. Continuous reinforcement and coaching post-training are essential for sustained engagement.
  • 04:37
    Survey completion rates for instructor led vs. eLearning training
    Instructor-led training tends to yield higher survey completion rates due to immediate engagement while eLearning surveys often see lower engagement levels. Measuring the data and thinking about it in innovative ways is crucial to ensuring training is effective.
  • 06:10
    Best practices for follow up surveys post training
    Integrate follow-ups into the learner's workflow through internal chat tools and tools they use daily to ensure engagement without disrupting daily tasks. Consider the top three critical questions you need answered, keeping them concise, and send those questions to the learners.
  • 08:36
    Utilizing post training discussions for deeper feedback analysis
    In-person discussions and follow-up inquiries after training sessions provide open discussions and opportunities for follow-up questions. That way, L&D can understand the root causes of learner feedback and address those.
  • 10:33
    Leveraging training data elements to present an accurate story to senior leadership
    This process starts with aligning training goals with business objectives and learner skill gaps. Measuring training application via qualitative and quantitative data delivers an accurate story to senior leadership, guiding necessary pivots for sustained business growth.
  • 12:03
    Setting clear training objectives and measurement criteria
    Agreeing on clear objectives from the outset reduces potential disputes with stakeholders and decision-makers. Furthermore, it is equally important to define and agree on how the measurement of the training will be carried out from the start.

Quotes

  • "Engagement on surveys isnt high because of survey fatigue. Making that initial survey optional, then following up 30, 60, and 90 days after to get any additional feedback while continuing to reinforce training is key." - Christina Duarte

  • "You can't have a training event and not reinforce, coach, or add any on-the-job training following it, then expect the learner to know what you're talking about when you send a survey 30 days later." - Christina Duarte

  • "The key to follow up after training is having it be within the workflow of the learner. That could be in an internal communication chat or a watercooler-type conversation, and making it quick and to the point." - Christina Duarte

  • "You can't send somebody a survey or questions in their workflow and have it be five questions long. Think about the top three things that you need to know, and then send that and then let it go." - Christina Duarte

  • "Sometimes as a data-driven individual, it's very easy to see in the data what you want to see and not let the data tell you the story." - Christina Duarte
