Measuring return on investment in training has become a big issue - partly because trainers now have to prove real benefits to cash-strapped organizations.

Featuring detailed worked examples showing how all aspects of training effectiveness can be monitored and assessed, the text dispels the significant myths that get in the way of a successful evaluation of the economics of training and performance improvement.
