HOW TRAINING TRANSFER EFFECTIVENESS IMPROVES BUSINESS OUTCOMES

Organisations worldwide invest heavily in training and development, hoping to drive performance, boost productivity, and enhance employee capabilities. However, here is the challenge—training alone does not guarantee results.

The real game-changer? Training Transfer Effectiveness.

Training transfer effectiveness is how employees apply the skills, knowledge, and behaviours learned in training to their actual job roles. When this happens effectively, businesses see a direct, measurable impact on performance and overall success.

Why Does Training Transfer Effectiveness Matter?

Too often, employees attend training sessions, feel inspired, and return to their roles with great intentions—only to fall back into old habits. Research suggests that up to 90% of training is lost without proper reinforcement and follow-up. When training fails to transfer, organizations waste time, resources, and money.

But when training is effectively transferred, businesses experience:

  • Increased Productivity – Employees perform tasks more efficiently, reducing errors and improving workflow.

  • Improved Employee Engagement – When employees can apply what they have learned, they feel empowered, valued, and motivated.

  • Higher ROI on Training Investment – Every training dollar spent leads to real, measurable outcomes.

  • Stronger Business Performance – Organizations with effective learning cultures outperform competitors by fostering continuous growth and adaptability.

Training Effectiveness 104 (Evening Deep Dive): Shifting the Focus from Skills to Business Outcomes

This morning, we explored how HR and L&D professionals can collaborate with departments to uncover the real business challenges behind training requests. Now, let us take it a step further by shifting the focus from simply developing skills to achieving measurable business outcomes. When departments request training, the focus is often on skills—what employees need to learn. While important, we must ask: How does improving these skills impact the organization’s success?

Example: If the operations team requests training on improving efficiency, ask deeper questions about how operational inefficien...
