In this last phase, training is monitored and evaluated. Training monitoring is relatively of greater practical importance than training evaluation. Training monitoring should take place through well developed training monitoring indices like number of training courses planned and held every month and number of trainees planned and covered. The training monitoring indices will differ from level to level. These indices should be regularly brought to the notice of top management so that it can intervene to correct a situation.
An evaluation of training by trainers and trainees followed by an annual review by the top management can considerably enhance the usefulness of training courses. Suitable changes in the training approach can be made as and when necessary, on the results of training monitoring and evaluation. Evaluation should be done by the course instructor with a questionnaire having questions/items related to the coverage of the content methodology of training, audio-visual aids quality, stay arrangement, and communication eliciting responses from the trainees at the end of the training session/course. Such responses should be analyzed for making further improvement.
