How to Increase Your Return on Training (ROT)

Now you have an unprecedented means of creating, measuring and managing learning and development within your organisation. It turns training from an expense into a properly evaluated investment with the appropriate return on investment (ROT) that ensures your training is more effective and actually transforms your organisational performance in the way you intend it to.
