Learning Transfer Survey

Taking deliberate action to ensure training results in sustained on-the-job performance improvement is essential. Organizations invest significant time and resources in developing their people, yet popular studies suggest that only about 35% of the skills taught in a typical training program remain in use one year later. Some research places the number even lower, estimating that just 15–20% of learning investments produce measurable performance improvement.

The issue is rarely the quality of the training event itself. The challenge lies in what happens before and after the event. Without deliberate reinforcement, alignment, and accountability, new skills fade and the return on learning investment diminishes.

The Learning Transfer Audit helps you identify how effectively your organization supports the transition from learning to sustained performance. Each question reflects a research-validated driver of learning transfer. Your overall score provides an indicator of how systematically you are converting learning into measurable results.
