Recent studies indicate that enterprises receive beneficial returns from their investment in training. Human resource practitioners, employers, governments and researchers also agree that more needs to be done to demonstrate the returns to enterprises from this investment. However, many enterprises appear unwilling or unable to actually evaluate these returns and most reported Australian studies have been completed by researchers, rather than enterprises. This report provides an extensive review of recent Australian and overseas studies in order to identify: *key issues that need to be addressed to encourage increased evaluation of training benefits by enterprises *successful approaches that may inform future 'enterprise friendly' studies of returns to enterprises from investment in training |
