Hi Nada,
As step 1, you really have to be clear on what specific information you want to gather and formulate your questions to specifically obtain this info. I have seen some questionnaires that appeared to be very complete; however, when the final analysis was completed, the end result did not retrieve the specifics required to determine what training interventions needed to be developed to meet these needs. The end result was a great deal of time and effort expended with very little useful information. The upfront planning is the critical factor in making questionnaires of value both in a satisfaction measurement and as a strategic planning tool.
There are many excellent books available on the actual instrument you can use, depending on your requirements. If you get it "right" in the planning stage, this methodology can work really well.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi,
I hope this information helps you in evaluating training programs. I think the feedback forms filled out by the trainees themselves are very helpful. The information gathered through these feedback forms serves several purposes. For example, the feedback process indicates whether the trainee acquired what he hoped to learn, whether the timing and length of the course were accurate, if the instructions for the assignments were clear and understandable, and if the course material met expectations. It also indicates whether the instructor is knowledgeable, experienced, interactive, able to express thoughts clearly, and deliver effectively.
Time and money spent on training are only justified if the training contributes to the efficiency of the organization and improves the performance and prospects of employees. Evaluation, which assesses the total value of any training activity, is therefore essential.
The most common reason for evaluating training is to provide quality control over the design and delivery of training activities. Providing feedback to trainers about the effectiveness of specific activities and the extent to which objectives are being met will aid in the development of the current program and the planning of future ones.
If you wish, I can send you the format of the feedback form.
Goodbye and all the best.

Raashi made an interesting observation:
This, for me, highlights the problem and the challenge we face.
Evaluating training primarily from the perspective of the trainer is narrow-minded and short-sighted. It is like a chef in a restaurant going up to a customer and asking them if they liked the way the meal was cooked, even though it may not have been what they asked for or was not of sufficient quantity to quench their hunger. It is valid to ask how well the meal was cooked, but it is more interesting to the customer to be able to provide feedback on these other aspects of the meal - specifically, were the customer's order and expectations fully satisfied?
It is my observation that trainers place too little emphasis on these aspects of meeting customer requirements and too much on asking if the meal was cooked right.
Sure, there is a correlation - poor reaction if the requirements aren't met, but this can be masked by not giving the customer the opportunity to comment on those aspects by being 'clever' with the wording of the questions.
In a good, customer-focused restaurant, the waiter asks the customer exactly what they want, how they want it cooked, presented, and at what time delivered. They make sure the chef knows this. And they constantly check with the customer to find out if there are any new or changed requirements, and they tend to these very quickly.
My message?
Sure, do the quality control, but remind yourself what quality means.
And who defines quality.
Quality is defined by the customer - nobody else!

My advice would be to get the "buy-in" from management before you present your findings. Present to management the why and how of the project before going forward. It will save you a lot of time in the end.

Hello, guys!
From the replies that I have read as of now, you guys mainly talked about feedback as a major evaluation process. But to be honest, it is not. It is just the initial feedback of the participants to find out if they initially liked the program or not. But to measure the actual effectiveness, you need to delve deeper and find out if these learnings were implemented in practice or not because for the organization, the learning of the employee is irrelevant if he is unable to put it into use.
I am doing a project on the evaluation of Training & Development (T&D) of a program meant to enhance leadership and managerial skills in the frontline managers. Now, how do you find out whether the participants have actually internalized the learning from the training program and have started applying these skills in the job? One way can be through feedback from the rest of the employees, but then what specific questions can be asked to get an effective evaluation?
Kindly help!! I need it very much to prepare a questionnaire to be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the training program for leadership and managerial skill-building.

Dear Vandana,
Though you have addressed the message to CHR, I am taking the liberty to raise some questions to clarify the scenario. What do you do, and what is your role? I wonder how you have completed the project without designing, administering the questionnaire, and analyzing it! Have you done a literature survey to see what others have done, how, and why in that way?

Dear All,
With respect to developing questionnaires for evaluating training, the following procedure should be followed:
Step 1: Establish the aim and objectives of your evaluation.
Step 2: Conduct a literature survey.
Step 3: Establish a hypothesis for all those aspects that you would like to test. Test the aspects from both sides, i.e., one side will be of the trainer and the other side is of the trainee.
For all MBA students:
Please refer to books on Research Methodology from your college library and understand the steps for conducting research. Then follow these steps for preparing your questionnaires. I have mentioned a few steps above.
