If participation rates are low, then you should re-evaluate how you are promoting your training opportunities. It might be worth reminding your staff of the importance of regularly checking into their employee training dashboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Completion Rates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: these stats can help you evaluate the quality of your training materials. If a high number of employees are failing to complete a course, then it is probably down to an issue with the quality of your content. You could use additional metrics and trackers to determine if there is a specific point where most people exit a course.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Pass Rate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: It\u2019s all good and well ensuring that your employees complete a course, but if your pass rates are low then it suggests that they may not be understanding your training materials. This could suggest that assessments are not aligning with learning objectives, or the standard is too high.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Alignment with business goals<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The final metric worth including is whether or not learning and development aligns with your business goals and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/kpis-human-resources-template\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KPIs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
