Are you getting more out of your training budget to justify any changes to the overall expenditures? How are you measuring that? What are you doing to ensure you are getting the most bang for your training dollar? The Training Budget Infographic highlights some important points to optimize your training efforts.

One very important item to note is the return potential for the investment in training and development of employees.
