MANHATTAN, N.Y. - April 8, 2015 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, N.Y., April 8, 2015 – KnowledgeSources, Inc., a talent management consulting and resources firm, has released an e-guide titled “The ROI of Learning and Development for Business and HR Leaders.” The guide is available as a free download on the company’s newly launched website, www.knowledgesources.com.

Peggy Decker, founder and principal of KnowledgeSources, explained that, “All too often, executives and HR directors understand the need for training and leadership development, but more and more they are called upon to explain the training investment in terms of ROI to the organization.” Ms. Decker continued “This can sometimes be difficult to quantify. Our e-guide is meant to help decision makers look at training from a new perspective, and to understand how to value it along different relevant metrics beyond financials and hard data.”

Key takeaways regarding the ROI of corporate learning and development include:

• Understanding that initiatives are more successful when they take place in a holistic fashion, not in distinct silos.

• Long-term coaching and refreshers create more sustainable results.

• Some benefits are tangible and measurable, such as revenue, profitability and engagement metrics.

• Measuring the ROI of soft skills acquisition often lies in the stories that managers and HR directors can tell.
