The ultimate goal of training is to impact business outcomes -- such as improved productivity, reduced errors, or increased customer satisfaction. Learning and behavior changes matter, but organizational performance is the true ROI. Extract from HRCI-aligned HR knowledge (Learning and Development): SPHR candidates must link LandD to strategy: "Training effectiveness should be evaluated based on its measurable impact on key performance metrics."
