The training metrics you include in your training dashboard will largely depend on your industry and business objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, though, the following <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/hr-report-management\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">HR metrics<\/a> can provide you with valuable data:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The number of employees who successfully complete training<\/li>\n<li>Pass\/fail rate of training courses<\/li>\n<li>Assessment scores<\/li>\n<li>Impact of training solutions on KPIs<\/li>\n<li>Training cost per employee<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/labor-costs\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Labor costs<\/a> of training vs ROI<\/li>\n<li>Learner engagement and satisfaction<\/li>\n<li>Operational efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Course enrollment data<\/li>\n<li>Course completion rates<\/li>\n<li>Employee performance post-training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"4-training-metrics-to-include-in-your-dashboardwhat-are-the-4-essential-metrics-for-a-training-dashboard\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" name=\"Metrics\"><\/a>What Are the 4 Essential Metrics for a Training Dashboard?<\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of your business objectives, the following 4 training metrics should be included in your training dashboard:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Participation Rates<\/b>: These\u00a0give you great insight into the overall engagement of your employees. 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.<\/li>\n<li><b>Completion Rates<\/b>: 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 probablydue 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.<\/li>\n<li><b>Pass Rate<\/b>: 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.<\/li>\n<li><b>Alignment with business goals<\/b>: The final metric worth including is whether or not learning and development aligns with your business goals and <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/kpis-human-resources-template\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">KPIs<\/a>. This is vital, as if training is not improving overall employee performance, then it is a waste of money.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Beyond these, consider adding metrics that measure the direct business impact. For instance, a Gallup analysis shows that business units with highly engaged employees see a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/236927\/employee-engagement-drives-growth.aspx#:~:text=81%25%20in%20absenteeism,the%2011%20performance%20outcomes%20studied.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">23% difference in profitability<\/a>. Correlating training completion with engagement scores can provide powerful insights into your L&amp;D programs&#8217; financial and cultural ROI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccc <em>Ready to customize your own training dashboard?<\/em> Use this <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/templates\/training-dashboard-template\">free employee training template<\/a> to get started!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-gather-data-for-an-employee-training-dashboard\"><strong><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" name=\"How\"><\/a>How to Gather Data for an Employee Training Dashboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The data you choose to collect will depend on your KPIs and the <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/workforce-analytics\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">workforce analytics<\/a> you want to improve. You also need to consider who will be using the training dashboard. <strong>Will it be used by managers only or will all employees have access? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve decided what data you will be gathering, how it aligns with your business objectives, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/hr-benchmarking\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">hr benchmarking<\/a> strategy, you need to work out how you are going to actually collect your data. There are a couple of options here.<\/p>\n<p>A common starting point is a training tracker in Excel or Google Sheets. Templates are used to record information like your list of courses, assessment scores, and employee details. While these can record basic information like course lists and assessment scores, they lack automation and scalability. Administrative professionals spend a significant portion of their time on data entry, a task prone to human error, especially in spreadsheets or documents.<\/p>\n<p>The downside is that manual tracking leaves you wide open to human error, and you are likely to miss out on valuable training metrics, decreasing the value of your training dashboard. The same is true for absence tracking, which is why many companies adopt an <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/blog\/leave-management-system\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">HR leave management system<\/a> alongside training tools to centralize attendance, leave, and learning data in one place.<\/p>\n<h3>Gathering data while tracking employee training<\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>The best solution to track employee training?<\/strong><\/em> Invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/training-management-system\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Training Management System<\/a> to centralize, assess, and monitor progress. A training management system is primarily used for planning and monitoring the training courses in your company, centralizing all your training into a user-friendly platform, tracking employee progress, training expenses, and creating personalized reports. The primary benefit of a Training Management System (TMS) is its ability to reduce administrative work, which increases efficiency, consistency, and scalability. A report from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) indicates that HR automation can reduce administrative tasks by up to 40%, freeing up L&amp;D teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than manual data tracking.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Check out how Factorial&#8217;s Training Management System can automate this process for you!

A well-designed dashboard not only presents data but tells a clear story about your L&amp;D efforts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Define Clear Objectives:<\/strong> Before building, identify the key questions you need to answer. Are you focused on compliance, skill gaps, or engagement? Each goal requires different metrics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know Your Audience:<\/strong> A dashboard for C-level executives should highlight ROI and business impact, while one for L&amp;D managers should focus on operational metrics like course completion and learner feedback.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prioritize Data Visualization:<\/strong> Use charts and graphs that are easy to interpret. For example, use line charts to show trends over time (e.g., skill improvement) and bar charts to compare groups (e.g., participation by department).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ensure Data Integrity:<\/strong> Your dashboard is only as good as its data. Automate data collection where possible using an integrated system to prevent manual entry errors and ensure information is up-to-date.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it Actionable:<\/strong> Each visualization should lead to a potential action. If you see low completion rates for a specific course, the next step should be to investigate the course content or delivery method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re ready to move away from a manual <a href=\"https:\/\/factorialhr.com\/templates\/training-dashboard-template\">employee training template<\/a> and start optimizing your workflows to free up your time, check out Factorial.
