Hi Ashit,
Welcome to citehr.com and am happy to note that you are active as well..great..
Also i extend a very warm welcome to Indrayani as well...
Regarding Training effectiveness - as suggested by Indrayani -Kirkpatrick 's model, you can refer many methods which would be available in a dime & dozen..what is more important that if you can innovate or tweak them to fit your organizational's process/culture.
Would like to share an article by John Sullivan on Training effectiveness as below.
Good Luck!!

Measuring Training Effectiveness / Impact
by Dr. John Sullivan
Training can be measured in a variety of ways including
[List (Items I-V) are in increasing order of business value]:
I - Prior to training
The number of people that say they need it during the needs
assessment process.
The number of people that sign up for it.
II - At the end of training
The number of people that attend the session.
The number of people that paid to attend the session.
Customer satisfaction (attendees) at end of training.
Customer satisfaction at end of training when customers know the
actual costs of the training.
A measurable change in knowledge or skill at end of training.
Ability to solve a "mock" problem at end of training.
Willingness to try or intent to use the skill/ knowledge at end of
training.
III - Delayed impact (non-job)
Customer satisfaction at X weeks after the end of training.
Customer satisfaction at X weeks after the training when customers
know the actual costs of the training.
Retention of Knowledge at X weeks after the end of training.
Ability to solve a "mock" problem at X weeks after end of training.
Willingness to try (or intent to use) the skill/ knowledge at X weeks
after the end of the training.
IV - On the job behavior change
Trained individuals that self-report that they changed their
behavior / used the skill or knowledge on the job after the training
(within X months).
Trained individuals who's managers report that they changed their
behavior / used the skill or knowledge on the job after the training
(within X months).
Trained individuals that actually are observed to change their
behavior / use the skill or knowledge on the job after the training
(within X months).
V - On the job performance change

performance changed as a result of their changed behavior / skill
(within X months).
Trained individuals who's manager's report that their actual job
performance changed as a result of their changed behavior / skill
(within X months).
Trained individuals who's manager's report that their job performance
changed (as a result of their changed behavior / skill) either
through improved performance appraisal scores or specific notations
about the training on the performance appraisal form (within X
months).
Trained individuals that have observable / measurable (improved
sales, quality, speed etc.) improvement in their actual job
performance as a result of their changed behavior / skill (within X
months).
The performance of employees that are managed by (or are part of the
same team with) individuals that went through the training.
Departmental performance in departments with X % of employees that
went through training ROI (Cost/Benefit ratio) of return on training
dollar spent (compared to our competition, last year, other offered
training, preset goals etc.).
Other measures

with the training program.
Rank of training seminar in forced ranking by managers of what
factors (among miscellaneous staff functions) contributed most to
productivity/ profitability improvement.
Number (or %) of referrals to the training by those who have
previously attended the training.
Additional number of people who were trained (cross-trained) by those

Hi Rajat
How are u doing? Thanks a lot for the help. A lot of these seem relevant to the kind of business line we are in. I will definitely try to implement some of these.
One query, any specific Metrics for HR apart from what we are already mapping?
I was thinking of mapping - Time to staff (closing a vacancy)
Can you please suggest any other metrics?
Also any site where I can download relevant formulas for these metrics suggested?
Another thought I had was that, currently we are mapping many metrics (various dept) quarterly. This basically is an average. Do you think this reflects the true picture? Should the Metrics not be mapped monthly and the variance of it calculated?
Please suggest.
Cheers
