Good to know
The formula
ROI = (gains − cost) ÷ cost × 100. Cost includes fees, materials and the pay for hours spent learning.
Gains are estimates
Use conservative numbers and agree them with the business head before the training, not after.
Not everything has a rupee value
Confidence, safety and culture matter too and are not counted here. Treat the ROI as one input.
Track it
Measure the same errors, retention or output before and after, for the same group of people.
