Dubai, August 23, 2010. Towards the end of July, XpertLearning conducted a survey to identify topics of interest for HR and Training Professional.
The results of the survey indicated that most participants were interested in the topic ‘ROI for the HR and Training Professional’. In this light, XpertLearning held a workshop on ‘ROI for the HR and Training Professional’ at the Arjaan Rotana Hotel in Dubai. The event brought together key professionals and executives within the Learning & Development arena, from high-profile companies across the Middle East. The agenda for the event was as follows:
– Introduction
– Doing More for Less
– Building the Vision and Mission of L&D
– Success Criteria: What do you measure?
– Justifying Budgets
– ROI calculation practices
The session was chaired by Paul Michael Gledhill, Director and Co-Founder of XpertLearning, and facilitated by William Spindloe, Business Development Director at XpertLearning.
At the end of the session, the attendees were requested to provide their feedback. Below are some of the comments received.
Najia Maqsood, Commercial Bank of Dubai
A good experience and definitely a brilliant opportunity to share and learn from industry experts. Brilliantly facilitated. I would like to attend a session on HR & Training Best Practices.
Merzy Daruwala, VFS Global
This is an excellent initiative. The content and delivery of the session was fantastic. Great work! All the best to XpertLearning.
Rachel Jones, Brookfield Multiplex
Thought-provoking session. Encouraged participants to question what and why things are done, suggesting challenging current processes. Enjoyed insight into looking at training from non-HR/training viewpoint.
Annabelle Hamilton, Currie & Brown
Having not had previous experience in any way with the training field, I found this morning extremely useful and interesting. Working within groups and learning from others with experience and new ideas were fantastic.
Kishore Sadarangani, Emaar
Was inspiring and very helpful. I am looking forward to getting more in touch with you in the future.
Nikki Khan, Jashanmal
Enjoyed the presentation and was a good way to make the ROI clearer for the process of training to be approved. Thank you!
Ramnath Venkatraman, Noor Islamic Bank
It was indeed a very useful and value-adding session. Amazing facilitation. You may offer these half-day courses at a reasonable cost along with an e-Learning module � there will be clients! All the best.
Deborah Brown, Currie & Brown
Would have liked to see some case studies of other companies (ROI), also a brochure of XpertLearning to pass on to Directors. Good group involvement, participation, speaker very clear with a sense of humor which is great!! Keep up the good work, you all deserve it.

Great workshop, food for thought, great for our knowledge sharing.
