Assess Learning Effectiveness: Measure Whether Your Training Actually Changed How People Work

TL;DR: What this template does

This template analyzes follow-up interviews and reflections after training to assess how much knowledge was retained and applied.
Upload your post-training conversations and get a report showing learning effectiveness in action.

Why completion rates and smiley surveys don't tell the full story

Training isn’t valuable until it changes behavior.

This template helps you measure exactly that — with real examples from your people.

Definition: Learning effectiveness is the degree to which training content has transferred into behavior change or improved performance — assessed through employee voice.

How does this template work?

Step 1: Upload Follow-Up Interviews or Feedback
  • Use team retros, post-program 1:1s, manager check-ins
  • Accepts audio, video, or text
  • Ideal with 2–4 weeks post-training follow-up data
Step 2: Extract Themes — Learning & Development
  • AI tracks reported usage, confidence shift, and behavior examples
  • Tags content that stuck vs content that missed
  • Flags blockers (lack of reinforcement, manager support, tools)
Step 3: Output — Learning Effectiveness Report
  • Summary of behavior change vs knowledge decay
  • Topic-level insights: what worked, what needs revision
  • Downloadable for HR, L&D, enablement, or compliance

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I measure knowledge retention vs usage?
Yes — you’ll see both stated recall and real-world behavior application.
How is this different from "impact"?
This focuses on what got applied, not just what felt useful.
Does this work with coaching or soft skills programs?
Absolutely — those benefit most from qualitative insight.
