However, developing and delivering learning requires a significant investment of time on the part of both facilitators and participants. McLean & Company explains that the work doesn't end with the completion of a training program; rather, an essential part of continuous improvement comes from authentic and timely feedback.

Organizations seeking to streamline post-training feedback and maximize training effectiveness can now use McLean & Company's self-serve Learning Effectiveness Diagnostic, a new survey tool that can be launched from the firm's website quickly and easily.

"While asking the right questions is critical to unmasking important insights, the process of creating a post-training survey doesn't always get the priority it deserves," says April Ridsdale, senior director of HR Diagnostics, Advisory & Data Insights at McLean & Company.

"The new diagnostic allows organizations to easily collect and analyze data to measure the effectiveness of a training program, demonstrate its impact, and identify areas for improvement.

McLean & Company's pre-built questionnaire takes the guesswork out of which questions organizations need to ask to strategically develop and enhance their L&D program. These development initiatives will serve the organization in the long term by creating value, meeting goals, and having the intended impact on employee skills and behaviors."

McLean & Company highlights several key points users should know about the new diagnostic, including that

• The survey is fast and easy to use and can be launched from the firm's website in just minutes.
• The survey is customizable, providing users with the option to remove questions, add questions, or tailor the invitation to participants as required.
• The survey only takes five minutes for participants to complete, so organizations can look forward to securing a large number of responses.
• Shareable, easy-to-interpret reports are created from the survey data to allow HR and the organization to quickly assess how effective training was.

To explore McLean & Company's new survey tool and learn how the diagnostic can better enable and improve the L&D function within their unique organization, HR professionals are encouraged to visit the official Learning Effectiveness Diagnostic page.

The firm reminds HR leaders and their organizations that this diagnostic is included for those with Advisory, Leadership, and Counselor memberships. These McLean & Company members will be able to launch the survey directly from the survey landing page.
