Corporate Training FAQ
How do you measure the effectiveness of corporate training?
Measurement strategies can depend on each organization’s unique goals. The Kirkpatrick Model highlights a four-level framework that can guide evaluation, while calculating the return on investment (ROI) for training is another way to look at the training’s value for cost.
Performance metrics set during the design phase can also be used for comparison later to visualize how behaviors and skills have shifted for positive performance—or where there may still be gaps. Manager feedback, peer reviews, and surveys are also among the options.

What are the key elements of a corporate training strategy?
An effective strategy should have a clear objective and goals, both for learners and also the organization as a whole. These goals should align with each other to improve performance, build confidence, and create better business outcomes.
Although the process can vary, it usually starts with an analysis to define the audience, needs, and gaps. This informs curriculum design, delivery, and measurement to determine what modalities will promote continuous learning and have the best impact within the budget.
What budget is typically allocated for corporate training and development?
It can vary widely based on your organization’s industry, size, and needs. Some organizations will set aside anywhere from 1-5% of their revenue as budget for training. Others calculate this amount on a per-employee basis as a percentage of their salary.
According to the ATD 2023 State of the Industry Report, the average learning spend was about $1,220 per employee in 2022. This report goes into greater detail about how much organizations have spent based on size, as well as common areas of content distribution.
What part of the organization is typically responsible for corporate training?
The simple answer is: it depends on the organization. Many organizations have a centralized structure, meaning the decision-making power comes from the top down and is held by a very specific person or team, such as HR. Other organizations have a decentralized structure, which distributes the power across different levels and departments.
The type of structure an organization can depend on size, how tightly it needs to control operations, how fast decisions need to be made, if local changes affect the teams, and so on.
What are the main categories or types of corporate training companies?
Some companies may be categorized based on the type of training they specialize in, such as onboarding, leadership, sales, compliance, DEI, certification, and customer service. Other companies may have multiple areas of expertise, so they’re categorized instead by whether they provide off-the-shelf or custom content.
Even further, each corporate training company provides different services. Design and development are the most common, but you can also find partners like AllenComm who have a whole breadth of services, from analysis to delivery, measurement, and maintenance.
