Survey on Learning Transfer and Learning Technologies

Results of the latest PersonaList.at survey

Dear Ladies and Gentleman,

What use is the best training if there is no sustainable learning success? For this reason, we conducted a survey on learning transfer and learning technologies on PersonaList.at – The Platform for HR Managers – in May 2013.

Out of 1.243 HR Managers 94 people participated in the survey. 66% of the participants work in companies with 100-2000 employees. 60% of the companies operate internationally.

How employees prepare for a training

„The process for optimal learning transfer starts with a good objective target and preparation for the training“, says Masha Ibeschitz-Manderbach, Managing Partner of MDI. As a result, she is pleased that a preparatory talk between the superior and the employee, in order to define the targets of the training, takes place in 47% of the participating companies. At least 34% plan such a conversation but do not carry it out. Almost 40% either obtain feedback from colleagues and employees or complete online analyses beforehand. Less than 30% prepare themselves with technical literature or e-learning.
