About this title

From the Publisher

This new, third edition of Jack Phillips's classic Handbook of Training Evaluation and Measurement Methods shows the reader not only how to design, implement, and assess the effectiveness of HRD programs, but how to ultimately measure their return on investment (ROI). Each chapter has been revised and updated to include additional research, expanded coverage, and new examples of Dr. Phillips's case studies. Seven entirely new chapters have also been added, focusing largely on ROI.

Patti Phillips, PhD., president and CEO of the ROI Institute, Inc., earned her doctoral degree in International Development and her master's degree in Public and Private Management.
