Use ROI to demonstrate the real value of talent development.

Show the value of talent development initiatives using the measures that matter to your leaders and executives. To remain relevant, you must know how to answer two questions before they are asked. First, how do you know the impact you are claiming is due to your initiative and not something else? The second is, how do you know the initiative was a good investment of resources? This course will show you how to answer both questions using the language and measures leaders expect and respect. Beyond addressing just training programs, you’ll learn to answer these questions for talent development, organization development, human resources, technology, change, or quality solutions.
During this certificate program, you will learn to demonstrate and communicate with credibility the impact and ROI of your initiatives using the globally recognized ROI Methodology, developed by the ROI Institute, Inc. The ROI Methodology offers a comprehensive, systematic approach to demonstrating value for money invested in all programs, projects, and initiatives. Learn and practice techniques to isolate the direct effects of your programs to improve business measures, convert impact measures to money, identify important intangibles, and calculate ROI. Uncover how to use this data to communicate the need for and make better decisions about talent development investments to improve organization performance.

Why You Should Attend:

• – Be able to apply the ROI Methodology end-to-end back on the job to measure the impact of your talent and organization development solutions.

• – Link your talent development program objectives to business results to gain visibility, credibility, and future investment from senior leadership.

• – Work through a complete evaluation plan in the course for one of your own programs, with guidance from expert facilitators who are true evaluation practitioners.

• – Earn an industry-recognized ATD certificate, continuing education credits, and an ATD digital badge to share with your networks.

Fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce and workplace involves awareness of and appreciation for different perspectives, backgrounds, customs, abilities, and behavior norms. Talent development professionals are in a unique position to ensure that every employee in their organization is respected and engaged and that their organization realizes the significant benefits of an inclusive approach.

Throughout this course, you will explore key themes and concepts encompassing many facets of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and discover the tools necessary to support DEI through your role as a talent development practitioner. In alignment with the Talent Development Capability Model, you will examine your organizational impact from three unique perspectives – personal, professional, and organizational – and identify strategies to expand your mindset, practices, and influence.

Starting with the personal perspective, this certificate program will provide you an opportunity to evaluate your self-awareness and develop cultural humility. The program will draw on the learners’ real-world experiences and will invite authentic discussions in a way that recognizes that everyone is at a different place in their DEI journey. Moving to the professional realm, we’ll explore how you can incorporate DEI into your daily work as a TD practitioner, regardless of your role.

Learning Objectives:

• – Demonstrate the value and benefit of integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into talent development for your organization.
• – Expand your self-awareness and shift your mindset, practices, and influence around diversity, equity, and inclusion within your own work.
• – Identify factors that shape identity and culture, including race, gender, ethnicity, age, physical abilities/qualities, and neurodiversity.
• – Discover how cultural norms affect beliefs, values, behaviors, and decisions and their potential impact on workplace dynamics.
• – Demonstrate inclusive leadership skills, including co-creating an environment where diverse perspectives are considered, using storytelling to create safe spaces, and making space for people to be seen, heard, understood, and valued.
