The gathering of feedback comments and evaluation results are critical functions for many HR and Training professionals, but in the pressure of day-to-day work these more reflective processes are often overlooked. We believe that both feedback and evaluation are critical processes in both good business development and in our own professional development. This page summarises the information and resources on TrainingZone and HR Zone relating to these issues.
Online Feedback and Evaluation Tools
GetFeedback: Our partnership with GetFeedback providers users with an extensive menu of online feedback and evaluation tools. These can be used for such purposes as: course feedback, training evaluation, staff appraisals, organisational benchmarking, leadership style feedback, employee and customer surveys, and more. Having selected your feedback tool from the menu, you decide to whom you want to send it; respondents complete the survey and the results are automatically compiled into a comprehensive report for your use.
