The Secret to Employee Retention? Continuous Learning
MEASURING RESULTS WITH EXCEL EVALUATE
Amgen is the world’s largest independent biotechnology firm, headquartered in California, with European headquarters in Zug, Switzerland. The European Talent Acquisition Development Team completed a review of the leadership and personal development programmes that were in place to develop personnel across Amgen Europe. The result showed that there was room for growth.
"The use of Excel Evaluate has been instrumental in the success of Learning for Growth and the overall quality of all our training workshops has gone up."
We Understood Amgen's Needs
The programme was called Learning for Growth, and the benchmark for average learner improvement after every workshop was set at 20%. In order to measure performance pre and post workshop, an effective, accurate assessment tool was needed and the level 3 behavioural assessment tool (Excel Evaluate) from Excel Communications was selected. Excel Evaluate is an evaluation tool that quickly and simply allows the measurement of people’s performance and assesses changes in behaviour, as a result of training or coaching. By tailoring the behavioural indicators to reflect your goals, you can evaluate the impact of training on people’s performance.
What Did It Entail?
Learning for Growth was launched; a pan-European programme that includes a 3-tier instructor-led development programme. There were a total of 40 programmes and on average between 500 and 600 personnel attend these workshops every year.
What Were The Results?
The changes pre and post workshop can be visualised clearly using the Excel Evaluate spider diagram:
Since the introduction of Excel Evaluate and The Learning for Growth Programme, the average improvement post workshop has been 27%.
