Manueller Auswertungsaufwand bei Trainingsevaluation bindet teure Fachkräfte
Definition
Contemporary Australian L&D guidance recommends multi‑step ROI measurement: set objectives, capture baseline KPIs, run post‑training evaluations, track long‑term performance changes, calculate ROI and conduct cost‑benefit analysis.[3][6] Without integrated systems, HR and L&D staff manually design surveys, export LMS data, reconcile attendance records, and build ROI models in Excel. Articles explicitly acknowledge that accurately quantifying training ROI is complex and data‑heavy.[3][6] In mid‑size organisations this work typically falls to HR business partners, L&D managers and analysts whose fully‑loaded hourly cost can easily exceed AUD 80–120. When multiplied over multiple programs and cohorts, manual evaluation consumes substantial capacity that could be used for strategic workforce planning or additional revenue‑generating engagements for external providers.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Quantified (logic-based): Typical Australian mid-sized organisations may run 10–20 significant training or coaching programs per year. If each program requires 15–30 hours of manual data collection, survey analysis and ROI modelling across HR, L&D and finance, this equals ~150–600 hours annually. At a blended internal cost of ~AUD 90/hour, this is AUD 13.500–54.000 per organisation per year in manual evaluation labour. For a training provider managing multi‑client ROI reports, this can easily reach 300–1.000 hours/year (AUD 27.000–90.000 capacity cost) that could otherwise be billed as consulting or used to design new offerings.
- Frequency: Occurs with every major training or coaching initiative that requires evaluation, typically quarterly and annually, and accumulates across all programs.
- Root Cause: Lack of integrated ROI and analytics tools in LMS/coaching platforms; fragmented data (HRIS, CRM, survey tools, finance); reliance on spreadsheets; absence of standardised ROI templates or automated calculation engines despite guidance stressing structured approaches and KPI tracking.[3][6]
