The purpose of this paper is to show how benchmarking can be used as a stimulus for evaluating training and as a major improvement tool. The author specifies her terminology and begins by looking at techniques to audit and review the effectiveness of training. She contends that it is possible to isolate the effect of training from other factors in the organisational environment and provides evidence from other researchers to support her views, that the effects can be measured and that effectiveness benchmarks can be set. Finally, she looks at linking benchmarks to a return in investments and as a tool for competency-based training. Show less
