Total training hours divided by the number of employees.

(Number of certified employees / Total employees) × 100 · percentageProgress in building targeted skills, measured by training completion and improvement in review feedback.
Completion of training modules combined with improvement in review feedback · percentageThe percentage of employees whose mandatory or regulatory training is current and up to date.
(Employees with current required training / Total employees required to be trained) * 100 · percentageThe percentage of assigned trainings employees completed in a given timeframe.
(Completed training modules / Assigned modules) × 100 · percentageThe average amount spent on training per employee.
Total training expenditure / Number of employees · currency§3The math on what we know
Synthesized priors from the live registry: pooled r, studies (k), total N, top study grade, and heterogeneity. Rows flagged for heterogeneity or single-study evidence are directional, not settled — read them as a central tendency.
