PRESS: Training survey results

Posted: Mon 01 Jun 2009

Lander Associates, the international training and performance development specialists, has just completed a major training survey of 395 recruitment companies, in conjunction with a number of interested parties including APSCo.

The overall headlines make interesting reading:

  • The number of recruitment organisations that have cut back on training and development has doubled since last year and 40% have cut training budgets
  • Hardly headline news you might say, but against this backdrop there are a number key issues, here are 3 of them:
  • Almost 60% of organisations do not use any form of training needs analysis to evaluate actual training and development needs
  • Over 40% of organisations do not measure their return on investment from training and development
  • The number of organisations who use e-learning in their training mix - often a cost effective resource- is surprisingly low - less than a quarter, with this number declining even further in future training plans

If recruitment organisations are not evaluating requirements, or measuring ROI, or keeping up with technological developments to allow then to deliver training in other cost effective and innovative ways, then arguably they are making budget decisions without the complete management information they need - a practice that would be unacceptable in any other area of the business.
