EMPLOYERS SEE $7 ROI FOR EVERY $1 SPENT
"When businesses invest in coaching programs for employees, the average return on investment (ROI) is $7 for every $1 spent on leadership development, according to a Sept. 21 report from BetterManager, a leadership development platform, and research firm The Fossicker Group.
The ROI appears to stem from increased revenue and sales as a result of leadership development participation, as well as cost savings through higher employee retention and lower recruiting costs. “Countless qualitative studies have shown that the benefits of leadership development ripple out across the entire organization,” John Topping, president and COO of BetterManager, said in a statement."

HOW TO MEASURE ROI
"In today’s economic climate, the importance of measuring training ROI cannot be overstated. Although the advantages of workplace learning have been proven time and again, employee development is a significant investment. In 2021 alone, nationwide expenditures cost upwards of $92 billion.
As such, L&D leaders need to show that training initiatives go beyond employees’ skills, knowledge, and behaviors. To truly gain leadership buy-in, they must demonstrate a return on investment. Unfortunately, some organizations still view L&D as a discretionary expense. When making financial cuts, learning budgets are often the first to go. But proving training ROI helps L&D teams substantiate their spending budgets and make the case for continued investment in employee development. ROI data can be further used to identify gaps and set companies up for continuous improvement. However, as learning professionals know, measuring ROI is no easy task." Learn more
