Program Evaluation and HR Metrics

 

Program evaluation (PE) is at the heart of practicing evidence based talent management. It refers to the process of assessing the impact of an intervention by gathering data to compute the right HR metrics. The process involves developing hypotheses about expected outcomes, collecting data to assess the impact and analyzing results to identify areas for improvement. Leading organizations use program evaluation to continually improve the efficacy of talent management systems. Among numerous benefits, the evaluation process and the metrics can allow the program to reach its full potential. It also serves to establish evidence about program effectiveness (or value) and justify budget requests.

Course description

In this course, participants learn the steps involved in designing a program evaluation. They develop an understanding of popular models and frameworks in program evaluation, such as Kirkpatrick’s four levels of evaluation, Return on Investment (ROI) and Utility analysis.  Additionally, the course will cover evaluation process and metrics used in common types of development programs including training interventions, leader development programs, multisource feedback interventions, executive coaching and career management systems.  While this course is presented as a separate chapter, all TM interventions should have a PE component.
