This document summarizes the findings of a global study on how companies transfer learning from training programs into workplace behaviors. Some key findings include: 1) While most companies assess learning needs through performance reviews, 8% conduct no assessment; 2) The Kirkpatrick model is commonly used to assess learning effectiveness but 18% use no measures; 3) Only 53% believe individuals recognize the importance of applying learning, showing room for improvement in developing a learning culture. The study provides insights to help organizations better support learning transfer into on-the-job performance.
This document discusses the findings of a global study conducted by TMI on how organizations transfer learning into workplace behaviors.

This document summarizes a research paper on measuring the impact of effective onboarding practices. It discusses several key measures for determining onboarding effectiveness, including employee feedback through surveys and interviews, retention rates and reductions in turnover, and time to proficiency for new hires. Additional lesser-used measures mentioned include HR efficiency, pre- and post-onboarding videos or tests, emoticon surveys, and positive employment differentiation. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of continuously gathering data on these various measures to evaluate and improve onboarding practices over time.
Executives are striving to measure the impact of training programs on business performance, but many lack effective metrics. A McKinsey survey found that about half of respondents saw training as a top priority, but only a quarter described their programs as "very effective". The inability to define credible metrics to measure business impact is a growing challenge. Executives who prioritized training and said their programs were very effective were more likely to use qualitative and quantitative metrics and cooperation between HR and business units.

Fewer than 15% of mid-tier organizations measure the impact of employee training, despite wanting behavior changes and return on investment from training. While there are many resources and models for measuring training impact, most training departments do not have effective measurement programs. The document discusses five strategies organizations can use to improve training program efficiency: 1) align training with organizational goals, 2) reduce time to competency, 3) select the right blend of delivery options, 4) consider internal vs. external training options, and 5) duplicate efficient programs and detect problem areas. It also emphasizes that measurement should focus on capturing actionable data relevant to key training programs and business objectives.

This document discusses the Kirkpatrick model for evaluating the effectiveness of training and development programs. It describes the four levels of the Kirkpatrick model: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. At each level, different methods are used to measure the impact of training. The reaction level measures participant satisfaction. The learning level assesses knowledge gained through pre- and post-tests. Behavior is evaluated by observing changes in on-the-job performance after training. Finally, results determine if training impacted overall business goals. The document also reviews other models and emphasizes the importance of evaluating all levels to improve training design and ensure a return on investment.

This document is a literature review for a study on the influence of HR practices on employee retention in Indian organizations. It begins by discussing the importance of HRM and employee retention to organizational success. It then reviews several HR models and theories around retention management. The literature suggests that effective training, compensation, and rewards programs can help reduce turnover by improving job satisfaction and organizational performance. Retention is now seen as a strategic issue, and satisfying diverse employee needs is key. The review aims to identify the HR factors that influence an employee's decision to stay at an organization. It will inform the objectives of examining retention strategies and developing effective retention policies.
This document provides an overview of organizational development (OD).

Career management practices and programmers
Many companies today are struggling with how to meet employee expectations regarding career development and advancement opportunities at a time when organizations are delayering and growth in the U.S. has slowed. In order to address this concern, E. L. Goldberg & Associates has collected career
management benchmark information and best practices from 34 organizations, representing a wide variety of industries. A supplemental study collected data from 75 professionals regarding how they define career success. Results indicate a significant shift in defining success in terms of intrinsic satisfiers versus the traditional more objective measures of success.
The benchmarking results reveal a major call to action for employers. Employeesā perceptions of career development and opportunities is frequently one of the lowest rated items on employee surveys, and research shows this is one of the top predictors of employee engagement. Despite this fact most companies subscribe to a philosophy of career self-reliance, essentially abdicating their responsibility for career management, leaving it up to the employee to figure out.
E. L. Goldberg & Associates believes that organizations can be more proactive in career management holding managers more accountable for understanding their employeesā career aspirations and educating employees on their career options. In addition, managers need to devote time to creating challenging opportunities that will contribute to individual career growth and development. This report outlines several best practices that participating companies utilize to facilitate career
management with both high-potential employees and the broader employee population.
These practices can have an impact on changing employees perceptions as two of the more innovative companies in this study reported that they created greater retention and career development satisfaction by providing people with development experiences versus simply a promotion. It is time for organizations to change their career management philosophies and become a more proactive partner in helping employees build their career.
The global marketplace and ever-changing workforce have created the need for organizations to engage human resources practices that recognize their human capital as their major competitive advantage. In fact, the current trends emphasize the growing demand for effective, creative recruitment and retention initiatives. Most human resources executives will cite the need to stay competitive with these initiatives as one of their biggest challenges. One of the basic principles to assist with this challenge is to embrace proactive and strategic career management practices that can provide you with a strong foundation for gaining a competitive edge.

This white paper discusses strategies for using distance learning to achieve strategic HR goals. It addresses the rise of knowledge workers, the need for rapid adaptation to strategic changes, and the war for talent in attracting and retaining skilled employees.
The paper outlines five objectives for an effective learning strategy: 1) Increase access to learning while controlling costs, 2) Promote flexibility and responsiveness, 3) Demonstrate measurable impacts, 4) Foster a learning culture, and 5) Serve both business and individual needs. It then describes five innovative HR practices using distance learning to meet these objectives, such as blended learning, workplace learning, and focusing on strategic skills.
The document discusses learning and development (L&D) strategies and trends. It finds that one-third of companies are increasing L&D budgets, while only 10% are using mobile learning. It also discusses how L&D must be tailored to business needs, embrace social/informal learning and mobile/cloud solutions. Benchmarking in L&D involves collecting metrics from other organizations, analyzing data, learning best practices, and implementing improvements. People in organizations want L&D to help develop skills for a changing market and achieve goals through reskilling.
1. Recent research found that over 80% of organizational training may be wasted, with less than 20% of the $670 billion global training spend actually being applied in the workplace. This suggests over $500 billion is having no impact on business performance or results.
2. Traditional learning models do not help organizations maximize their return on training investments due to a lack of synergy between learning activities and organizational goals, inadequate learning transfer strategies, and an over-reliance on post-training evaluations ("happy sheets") to measure impact.
3. To increase the impact of learning and development, organizations need to define goals and expected outcomes up front, conduct pre- and post-training evaluations beyond just reaction measures, and implement
The document discusses training needs assessment and outlines a proposed framework for conducting a thorough needs analysis. It begins by explaining the importance of training for organizational competitiveness. It then describes three common approaches to training - reactive, active, and proactive - and stresses the importance of taking a systematic and strategic approach linked to organizational goals.
The proposed framework involves analyzing training needs at three levels: micro (individual employees), meso (organizational), and macro (country/market). At the micro level, performance evaluations and other signals are examined. At the meso level, tools like SWOT and analyzing organizational structures, processes and complaints are suggested. At the macro level, situational analyses of the country context are recommended to identify
The document discusses training and development programs and their impact on employee performance and productivity. It begins by defining training and development and their objectives for both employees and organizations. It then outlines the research methodology used in a study, which included questionnaires distributed to 25 employees. The analysis found that most employees are actively involved in training and feel it helps boost skills, morale, and achieve goals. Training sessions typically last 1-3 hours and include both on-the-job and off-the-job components. The document concludes that regular training leads to improved employee performance and productivity.
The identification of training needs has been done by keeping the individual and organization as the base point, in this second part of the slide of lesson āTraining Needs Analysisā brought to you by Welingkarās Distance Learning Division, explained is the Analysis of Training, its needs individually, inside a group etc.

Training need assessment in a 5star hoShamimansary
Ā
The document summarizes a case study on assessing training needs at the Westin Hotel in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It outlines the objectives to identify performance gaps, desired outcomes, and training areas. It describes conducting interviews and surveys to assess current performance and improvement opportunities. The analysis found most employees were younger with less experience, indicating a need for more training to develop their skills.
Common misconceptions about employee surveys in organizations and how decision makers may overcome them. The case for design and customization to context is contrasted with standard surveys with a few examples from professional experience.
This study examines the impact of demographic factors on employees' attitudes towards training programs. A survey was conducted of 100 employees at ONGC Ahmedabad across various demographic characteristics like age, gender, education level, marital status and designation. The study aims to determine if there are significant relationships between these demographic factors and employee perceptions of important training program aspects such as importance of training, training hours, duration, interval between programs and location. Chi-square tests will be used to analyze the data and determine if demographic factors influence employee attitudes towards training. The results could help design more effective training programs that better address employee needs based on their profiles.
EVALUATING Organizational Development INTERVENTIONS.pdfDM Silongan
Ā
This document discusses methods for evaluating the effectiveness of organizational development (OD) interventions. It outlines 10 common methods: return on investment analysis, pre-post analysis, behavior observations, performance metrics, 360-degree feedback, focus groups/interviews, surveys/questionnaires, case studies, learning evaluations, and stakeholder feedback. It also covers data analysis and interpretation of evaluation results, with an emphasis on continuous improvement by learning from past evaluations.
Here are some questions to ask line managers to uncover new performance goals:
- What new tasks or responsibilities will people need to take on to help achieve the strategic goals?
- What changes in processes, procedures or ways of working are envisioned?
- What new skills, knowledge or behaviors will be required for people to perform successfully in their roles going forward?
- How will you measure whether people are achieving the expected performance levels in their new or changed roles?
- What obstacles do you foresee people facing in adapting to these new performance expectations?
The answers will help identify specific performance goals and competency requirements to focus the training needs analysis.
This document provides an overview of training need analysis (TNA) in organizations. It begins with an acknowledgement section thanking various parties for their support and contributions. It then includes an executive summary, introduction on TNA, purpose of TNA in organizations, objectives of the study, training methods, research methodology, data analysis, limitations and conclusion sections. The introduction defines TNA and discusses its importance in identifying training gaps. The purpose section outlines how TNA helps prioritize training, improve performance, and justify training investments. The document also reviews relevant literature on approaches and challenges to TNA.
The document discusses the changing role of training in organizations. It notes that training is shifting from a reactive role, responding to changes mandated by management, to a proactive role where training leads workplace changes. This represents a fundamental paradigm shift. Effective training now focuses on developing critical thinking, problem solving, and interactive skills like communication and collaboration, enabling employees to be proactive. Organizations are also blending in-house and online training methods like blended learning to better train employees across broad international footprints. Proactive training management involves considering individual learning styles, aligning training with career goals, and getting constant feedback to foster a culture of learning.

TMI White Paper: Making learning stick
1. MAKING LEARNING
STICK IN ACTION
A global insights study into how companies
transfer learning into workplace behaviour
2. INTRODUCTION
The belief that training in isolation rarely yields long-term behaviour change and improved performance is increasingly
common. Maximising return on training investment is a much talked-about topic and there is a wealth of information
available about the effectiveness of learning, yet little is documented about what organisations are actually doing
today to ensure learning āsticksā.
Prior to launching the MAKING LEARNING STICK IN ACTION global study, TMI researched and analysed
a wide range of insightful third party reports focusing on how people learn and the implications for Learning and
Development and Human Resources. This research study took a different approach to the topic of learning and
conducted a detailed analysis of the process of effective learning transfer, firstly looking into behaviour and then, and
more importantly, into workplace performance and bottom line results.
Through our extensive research, insights gained from this in-depth study and over six decades of
practical experience working with clients around the world to develop and embed sales, leadership and personal
effectiveness capability, TMI has fine-tuned its approach to implementing and achieving effective learning transfer.
These findings inform a model that succinctly communicates five core components we believe are required to Make
Learning Stick and positively impact business results.
TMI āMaking Learning Stickā Model

3. INTRODUCTION
The TMI MAKING LEARNING STICK model, informed and authenticated by these research areas, provides the
structure and direction for this insights report. Through this study we have sought to validate our findings and
discover new perspectives that can inform its on-going development and enhance its value to professionals
responsible for the development of people and teams.
Who Will Benefit From These Insights And Why?
Through a greater awareness and a stronger understanding of how to make learning stick, organisations and
individuals will be better equipped to align behavioural performance and translate this to improved business
performance. The responsibility for ensuring effective and sustained transfer of learning does not lie solely with L&D
and HR departments; it is the responsibility of everyone within an organisation, including the learners themselves.
This study aims to provide practical, easy-to-implement ideas to help transfer, embed and sustain learning.
Additionally, the insights provide strategic focus and refreshed perspective on the importance of learning transfer in
improving the overall impact of learning interventions across businesses. It is through an holistic focus on learning as
a continuous journey that positive personal change and improved business performance can be realised.
The insights of this study will be of great value to HR and L&D professionals as well as any leader or manager
responsible for the growth and development of their teams.
Executive Summary
The good news is that Making Learning Stick is something that everyone feels is
an important organisational activity. The key highlights from the study will provide
some initial food for thought. Further insight and commentary supporting the
findings can be found throughout the report.
ā¢ In terms of measuring learning effectiveness, the Kirkpatrick model remains the most commonly used device (66%
of respondents). Over a quarter of respondents said that the effectiveness of learning was assessed by the impact
on sales and over a third measure the impact by the effect on customer satisfaction.
ā¢ 15% of learners are ill-prepared and have had little or no discussion with their line-manager regarding objectives,
focus areas or indeed the reasons for their participation in the learning intervention. Only 20% of managers always
communicate intentions prior to learning.
ā¢ The results indicated that 37% of respondents are not particularly happy or very dissatisfied with the level of
support their line managers provide to maximise learning transfer to the workplace.
ā¢ The findings of this survey say, significantly, that 78% of learners are motivated or very motivated to develop
themselves. This is an important part of the battle already won for those leading team development.
ā¢ The fact that just 53% of respondents believe that individuals in their organisations recognise the importance of
applying learning to the workplace has huge ramifications for the return on the investment made on any learning
undertaken. This is further supported by 52% of respondents saying they were neutral or dissatisfied with how
their colleagues apply their learning.
ā¢ The top three activities that organisations have in place to recognise effective learning transfer has taken place are:
Post learning conversations with line-managers (60%), on-the-job coaching (52%) and the implementation of KPI
linked personal development plans (48%).
ā¢ From results it is clear that most organisations surveyed do not have a learning culture where the contributions of
individuals are acknowledged, encouraged or recognised. Something for leaders and managers to address as a
matter of importance.

THE ORGANISATIONAL
PERSPECTIVE
The belief that People are an organisationās most important asset is conveyed within
many corporate values today. Having a clear organisational strategy for people
development demonstrates meaning, substance and leadership commitment to
these values.
When undertaking extensive research, both from the academic world as well as from
TMIās global client assignments, it becomes clear that when there is organisational
alignment between strategy and culture any learning that takes place is more likely to
transfer into the workplace and positively impact business results.
The Making Learning Stick in Action survey questioned the organisational perspective ā aiming to discover
how organisations today assess the learning needs of their employees, identify the measures and processes
most commonly used, ascertain how well organisations connect learning and development with performance
improvement in the workplace and seek opinions on how satisfactory the performance improvement derived from
learning transfer is believed to be.
Assessing Learning Needs
When it comes to how organisations assess their learning needs, 57% of our survey respondents said they relied
on the performance review process, closely followed by nominations for training from their departmental heads to
determine this. 8% of respondents undertook no assessment at all establishing their learning needs.
This is clearly an area for development; if it is accepted that personal development positively impacts on business
performance, then it is important that organisations employ logical and personal assessment processes to
accurately identify development areas that will contribute to growth.
Our experience working with clients across industries and regions ratifies the importance of this process. The most
tailored and effective solutions are always preceded by an effective assessment. Whether the solution is an open
course or a comprehensive academy, that initial assessment is paramount to success.
The Measures Most Commonly Used For Assessing Learning
Effectiveness
66% of respondents stated that the Kirkpatrick model is the most commonly used method to assess the
effectiveness of learning interventions. We also learnt that the impact of learning is frequently assessed through its
effect on sales and customer satisfaction.
Importantly, however, 18% of respondents detailed that no measures are used for assessing learning effectiveness.
The organisations who do have measures in place to assess learning effectiveness indicate that many of their
measures are short term. There is significant scope for businesses to take a strategic look at how they measure
learning effectiveness and ensure learning outcomes are linked to sustainable business change and performance
improvement.

a quarter of respondents TMI surveyed donāt
believe that this is the case.
Furthermore, when asked how satisfied
respondents were with the performance
improvement derived from the transfer
of learning within their organisation, 41%

SOCIAL LEARNING ā WORKPLACE
REINFORCEMENT PROCESSES
Social learning takes place when we take on new ideas through observation and
discussion, fostering a learning ācommunityā. According to the Top 5 Corporate Learning
Trends for 2016, ā80% of all corporate learning takes place via on-the-job interactions
with peers, experts and managers.*ā As Generation X (and Y) become the majority of
our workforce, having processes and resources available for encouraging and ensuring
sharing of knowledge and skills, or āBRAINSHAREā is key.
TMI sought to discover how organisations encourage their employees to share learning
in the workplace, gain an understanding of the social learning tools and processes used within organisations today
and ascertain both appetite for and consumption of social learning tools by questioning the frequency of their use.
What Social Learning Tools And Processes Do Organisations
Currently Use?
Frequency Of Use
Despite the availability of a variety of tools and processes to share learning within organisations, it is crucial to note
the extent to which they are used and not assume all are used with regularity. Whilst 75% of respondents confirmed
that team meetings are an encouraged method of promoting social learning in their organisations, just 59% do this
frequently. In the case of on-the-job coaching, whilst 68% of respondents have this process in place, only 23% use
this method all the time.
Formal learning accounts for 10% of what we learn, informal learning is organic, happens as part of everyday and is
learner-centric ā given that it is the learner who decides what they learn and when, with the respect of their peers as
the only recognition they receive. The value of social learning should not be underestimated ā it is neither expensive
or overly time consuming, yet the impact on learning transfer can be significant for the learner and their peers.

WORKPLACE SUPPORT
Knowledge that we have all gleaned from plentiful studies ā dating back to
1885, when German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghausā, āForgetting Curveā first
demonstrated how information is lost over time when there is no attempt made to
retain it ā and our own research and practical experience, tells us that little or no
involvement by the line manager dooms the transfer of learning from ever taking
place. Now more than ever their role becomes critical as they determine the success
of learning transfer into behavioural patterns that either promote or limit workplace
performance and ultimately business results.
TMIās survey set out to determine how line managers in organisations today are providing support to learners and
assisting in the transfer of learning into the workplace. Additionally, the survey posed questions to ascertain how the
line managerās role and responsibility for supporting learning is perceived.
The Most Common Practices Of A Line Managerās Support
The top 5 practices used by managers to provide workplace support are:
It is not unexpected that team meetings were found to be the most common practice for providing workplace
support. Most line managers opt to take advantage of team meetings by discussing learning, performance and
results as one group to save time.
Team Meetings 75%
One To One Meetings With Colleagues 60%
One To One Meetings With Line-Managers 54%
Coaching 54%
Review Of Post Training Action Plans 24%
Coaching
Managers who do provide on-the-job coaching can
immediately identify what is going right for an individual
and their performance as well as clarify areas for future
focus, development and change. Coaching is key to
ensuring team objectives or KPIs are achieved.
The TMI survey drilled down for further detail in the area
of on-the-job coaching, specifically to uncover opinions on the effectiveness of the coaching that takes place in the
respondentās organisations. Just over 47% of those surveyed indicated that they were dissatisfied or ānot particularly
happyā with coaching effectiveness.
At TMI, we believe on-the-job coaching and support is currently the most effective way that the line managers
influence learning transfer, behaviour change and performance improvement. Having a kitbag of tools, ideas and
techniques that managers can access to prompt, reinforce and champion sustainable learning will ensure the
investment pays off. Line managers require coaching skills across the board if desired ROI is to be achieved.

WORKPLACE SUPPORT
Line Manager Pre And Post Support
The study raised questions regarding line manager involvement before and after a learning intervention.
Before any learning
intervention, do line-managers
communicate the reason(s)
for attending with
the individual?
On a positive note, these results
indicate that a fifth of managers always
communicate intentions prior to learning
and 36% mostly get to it.
In our experience many participants
have had little by way of discussion with
their line manager about expectations,
objectives, areas to focus attention
on ā or indeed their reasons for their
attending a learning intervention.
This often leaves them ill-prepared and
unclear on why itās important for them
to commit their time and energy to
learning.

Essential Behaviours
When it comes to āessential behavioursā, some managers struggle to interpret and articulate the behavioural
changes an individual should demonstrate in order to improve their performance and be successful in their role.
This results in individuals ā 23% according to our results ā almost having to guess how they should change their
behaviours as a result of their learning and āfeel their wayā towards success.
With these statistics in mind, the survey also provided some insight into opinions on line manager involvement.
81% of respondents agreed, or strongly agreed that it is important for line managers to engage in PRE-Training
discussions and coaching with learners, in order to maximise return on investment in training.
85% of respondents also agreed, or strongly agreed, that it is important for line managers to engage in POST-
Training discussions. Despite this significant majority confirming its importance, our results indicated that in the
current reality this isnāt always carried out.
Line Manager Responsibility For Learning Transfer
The survey results indicated 37% of people were not particularly happy or were very dissatisfied with the level of
support line managers provide to maximise learning transfer. A significant 32% of people responding had a neutral
reaction to this question, possibly indicating a lack of awareness around the importance of this process. Many
respondents shared opinions on why line manager support is lacking when it comes to learning transfer. These
comments, made anonymously, represent the flavour of their views.

āThere is too much variability in this activity. Some are excellent some

in terms of how we develop our people and managers need to know
how important a role they play. Organisations too often assume that
managers know to / know how to do this.ā

12. Learner Motivation
In any learning intervention that an individual undertakes, their motivation will drive
their focus, how they utilise their learning, when and where they sustain their interest
and how they transform their learning into behaviour that will impact their performance
and contribution to business results. The focus for any kind of learning intervention or
process therefore must be learner-centric.
People are motivated to learn. They spend time in short, sharp bursts in and out of
work to learn more about the world they live in, their role in society, and how they can
enhance their own job satisfaction. They see learning as a means to enhance their
employability and career progression. When learners are aware of the essential behaviours they must deploy to be
successful in their role ā and have had the opportunity to discuss and clarify the objectives to achieve them ā they are
better equipped to put them into practice.
The TMI study aimed to find out about learner motivation in action. The survey asked what methods organisations currently
use to encourage learner motivation and how learning is directly applied into the workplace and job of the individual.
How Motivated Do You Believe Learners Are To Develop Themselves?
Ref: Top 5 Corporate Learning Trends 2016, Knowledge Anywhere.com
Top 5 Methods Used
Whilst organisations use a variety of tools to encourage learner motivation, our respondents indicated varying
degrees of satisfaction with the impact of use. Whilst 90% use intranet communications, just 48% were satisfied
with its impact on learner motivation. Similarly, whilst email invites were found to be the Number 1 method used in
organisations, only 60% of respondents were satisfied with their effectiveness.
Additional tools, used less frequently in respondent organisations, included mobile collaboration apps, screen
savers and posters. These lesser utilised tools also experience much lower levels of success when compared with
the top 5, with 32% or less finding these methods effective.
Clearly every working environment is different, and each organisation should identify and deploy the most
appropriate tools for raising awareness and learner motivation amongst their teams, in line with their organisationās
culture. What appears to be true is that individuals can be more greatly encouraged to learn through personal,
targeted interactions rather than through remote or mass communications.

The Importance Of Pre-learning Preparation And Post Implementation
The survey posed questions about the learnerās preparation and whether learners recognise the critical importance
of applying their learning to the workplace.
Given that a fifth of survey respondents were āteam members or contributorsā, our findings that 43% are neutral
or dissatisfied that colleagues recognise the critical importance of applying learning in the workplace has huge
ramifications for learning transfer and ROI. This is further supported by 52% of respondents indicating a neutral or
dissatisfied response regarding how well individuals actually manage to apply their learning. There are a number of
potential reasons for this including;
ā¢ The learning is not appropriate.
ā¢ Learner motivation hasnāt been triggered by learning discussions with their line manager.
ā¢ They do not have the necessary tools or know-how to apply their learning.
ā¢ They see this as a further drain on their time.
ā¢ They do not see the connection between their learning and their performance.

There is an unsurprising degree of correlation between the data collected here and what was observed from the

behavioural change that will influence their performance and their contribution to business results.

14. LEARNING FEEDBACK
AND RECOGNITION
The impact of feedback on the achievement of performance goals
has been the subject of a great many studies by both academics and
educators alike. It has also been studied in the world of athletics. Frank
W. Dick OBE, former director of coaching for UK athletics, said that
there is a significantly positive impact on the learning and performance
of an individual in achieving their goals when they receive constructive
and positive feedback. The difference is remarkable when tested
against those who receive no feedback at all.
The Feedback Loop
Feedback underpins the celebration of success and the creation of new ways forward when things donāt go
according to plan. This is the feedback loop ā it keeps performance in sight and the focus on whatās required.
Everyone needs feedback ā it fortifies motivation, strengthens resolve and reinforces positive behaviours that build
results in the business.
There are many mechanisms that enable the feedback process to take place. Feedback can be both formal and
informal. The improvements as a consequence of feedback can be tracked so that individuals have a means of
reflecting on their learning journeys.
The survey aimed to identify what recognition learners receive for successfully transferring their learning into the
workplace and how their performance improvement is continuously tracked over a sustained period of time.
The top three most common processes that organisations have in place to
recognise effective learning transfer has taken place are:
The implementation of
personal development
plans that are KPI

AND RECOGNITION
A Culture Of Recognition
The statement that āCulture eats strategy for breakfastā has been accredited to Peter Drucker (and others). The
culture of an organisation is what we describe as āThe way and how things get done around hereā: the written and
unwritten behaviours that demonstrate an organisationās living values and/or brand DNA.
Having a culture of recognition means that people are connected by celebration, their contribution commemorated.
This also means that learning is encouraged as a means of growing and developing peopleās roles, skills and
experience, such that it positively impacts the bottom line.
Over 50% of survey respondents stated that that their organisation does not have a recognition
culture.
Organisational leaders should see this statistic as a signpost, and a wake-up call. The impact of a recognition
culture can be significant ā recognition is appreciated, highly effective and doesnāt require large investment ā to
ignore such a practice is a missed opportunity. Respondents shared how their organisations recognise individuals
and teams and how satisfied they are with the processes. Their top 5 processes ā with 86% of respondents either

18. CONCLUSION
To conclude, this Making Learning Stick in Action study set out to;
ā¢ Discover how business practitioners at all levels, and across various disciplines and industries, perceive and
implement learning transfer processes and practices.
ā¢ Explore and validate TMIās Making Learning Stick model, to enhance it, and aid the effectiveness of learning and
development in business.
ā¢ Provide practical insights and suggestions for those responsible for the development of teams.
There is much to be learnt from the example of others and, whilst TMIās experience ā spanning almost 70 years and
countless industries ā has provided a huge amount of background to the development of the Making Learning Stick
model, input and insight gained direct from industry globally is a vital part of the process and is forming a key part of
its development.
On a practical level there are many valuable insights that can be taken away and implemented in businesses
globally. Attitudes to the transfer of learning are, on the whole, positive and supportive. There do however, appear to
be significant opportunities for businesses to align operational practices more closely with strategic visions of, and
attitudes towards, learning transfer.
There is a universal responsibility for ensuring learning transfer takes place, yet the onus has to be primarily on HR
Business Partners and Learning Development professionals, to design, facilitate and support line managers with
appropriate activities, and ā with line managers themselves ā to implement these practices and maintain the focus
amongst their teams.
Line managers will rarely be specialists in the necessary areas, nor will they have the time to design such tools and
processes. It is therefore only through a cohesive, collaborative and cross-functional approach that businesses can
successfully implement and sustain the outcomes of effective learning transfer.
The world, theories and practices of learning and development change as frequently and swiftly as the evolving
demands and nuances of individuals that work within business. With this in mind we would be delighted to talk to
you further about the Making Learning Stick model, its relevance to your business, and how it can improve the long
term return on investment of any development programmes you explore in the future.
