Evaluation of Professional Development
After identifying professional development needs and implementing development activities, organizations should evaluate the effectiveness of these activities in both the short and long term.
Short-term evaluation focuses on assessing the learning process immediately after completing a course. Participants provide feedback on the program's relevance, the learning environment, and the trainer's professionalism using satisfaction questionnaires.
Long-term evaluation involves measuring the impact of the course on employees’ actions and performance by determining and analyzing measurable evaluation indicators.
The evaluation process should involve various stakeholders, including training providers, representatives from the human resources management unit, managers, and program beneficiaries. This phase is critical for assessing the impact of professional development programs and identifying areas for improvement. It ensures the continuous effectiveness and sustainability of professional development initiatives in the civil service.
