E-learning still waiting for the revolution
The latest Training and Development 2002 survey, published annually by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has shown that less than a third of organisations are using e-learning for staff training and development.
The statistics, released on Tuesday April 9, showed that of the 502 organisations surveyed, the majority that use e-learning spend less than 10 per cent of their training budgets on it.
Commenting on the figures, Martyn Sloman, the CIPD's adviser on Training and Development, said: "There has been much hype around e-learning, with much of the debate driven by the suppliers who have tried to seduce training managers with the technology.
"I firmly believe that e-learning will become a powerful tool which will transform organisations - but it is happening much more slowly than we initially thought.
"E-learning represents a challenge for many companies as it demands new attitudes and skills. We also still have a great deal to learn about the conditions under which e-learning is likely to be most effective."
The CIPD's survey also shows that the total annual cost of training per head is around £360. Daily payments to external training deliverers range from an average of about £925 for trainers of senior management to around £425 for those who train manual workers.
The survey findings will be further explored at the CIPD's HRD 2002, the UK's biggest forum for training and development, which will also showcase the latest in the field, from managing without power to new training evaluation techniques.

Avoid cost cutting on training warns CIPD
Cutting expenditure on course-based training and relying on e-learning to fill the gap would be an understandable, but a wholly inappropriate reaction in the business current climate. This was the view expressed by Martyn Sloman, Adviser at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), at the CIPD’s recent annual conference.
