The first step in regaining trust is to acknowledge the stakeholders’ concerns regarding the evaluation methods. Open a dialogue with them to understand their specific doubts and reservations. This can be achieved through surveys, interviews, or focus groups. By actively listening to their feedback, you demonstrate that their opinions are valued and taken seriously.

Only thing which I have found fruitful in the organization context as whenever we pitch any learning interventions with the business we should keep the business leader buyin There should be a regular check through the business leader and HR is only a facilitator Once it’s in the KRA of business leader the effectiveness is never queationed

I’d start by showing the current evaluation methods and how they link to real outcomes. Then, I’d say, 'Tell me what you’d change,' because collaboration is key. Add metrics like ROI, sprinkle in success stories, and back it up with regular updates. I’d prove the program’s worth. Regular updates and honest chats would keep things transparent and, hopefully, everyone smiling.

Stakeholder doubt can be a signal. It often means they don’t trust the alignment of goals and outcomes. First, identify the real concern: - Is it about clarity? - Is it about impact? - Is it about validity? To rebuild trust: - Review your evaluation framework - Use proven models like Kirkpatrick's or Phillips ROI. - Show alignment with business goals - Stakeholders need to see the connection clearly. - Involve them in refining the process - When people shape the method, they trust the results.

In my view, training and development are key to achieving an organization's objectives. Therefore, to regain trust in your training program evaluation methods, it can be transparent, involve stakeholders, and provide a clear role in the process and inform them about the progress of the project. Involve different groups of stakeholders effectively for feedback.

Gaining confidence of stakeholders can be a tricky task , but best way is involve them and keep them Informed at every stage . Right from training need evaluation to feedback received after training program , to evaluation and impact (real business gains ) they must be apprised regularly and buy in has to be created.

The key for gaining stakeholder's trust is clear communication right from training need analysis to the feedback received after culmination of training to its impact on trainees development and productivity. Also, we need to give due importance to the concerns of the stakeholders and try to make them understand as how the content of the training programme alings with what learners need to do their job better.
