2. Review Assessment Results

Objective: Evaluate the assessment results to track participants’ understanding of the material and identify knowledge gaps that need further attention.

• Analyze Assessment Scores:
  • Review the overall performance of all participants in the assessments to gauge the success of the training.
  • Identify trends in the scores to determine whether certain areas of the training content were consistently difficult for participants.
    • For example, did many employees struggle with procurement laws? Was there confusion surrounding the application of bidding regulations?
  • Look for patterns in correct and incorrect answers for both factual and scenario-based questions to determine which specific topics need to be reinforced in future training sessions.
• Track Individual Progress:
  • Compare the performance of employees who participated in the training to their previous assessments (if available). This will help determine the level of improvement in understanding and compliance knowledge.
  • For employees who scored below the passing threshold, identify whether additional training or follow-up sessions are required.

  • Assess whether case studies and examples were practical and helpful in illustrating key concepts.
• Delivery Methods:
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the training format, whether it was online or in-person. Was the format suitable for the employees? Did the virtual sessions offer enough interaction, or should in-person training be encouraged for future sessions?
  • Consider whether the timing of the sessions was appropriate for the participants. Did the training run too long, or was it too short? Did participants have sufficient time to absorb and engage with the content?
  • Review whether the interactive elements (e.g., quizzes, group activities, discussions) were successful in engaging employees and aiding retention of information.
• Trainer Feedback:
  • Assess the feedback related to the trainers’ performance. Were they knowledgeable and able to effectively communicate the legal and regulatory compliance concepts? Did they encourage engagement and provide enough opportunities for employees to ask questions or seek clarification?

4. Identify Areas for Improvement in Future Training

Objective: Use the feedback and assessment data to make necessary adjustments and improve future training sessions.

• Training Material Enhancements:
  • Review participant feedback to determine if any specific topics or materials were perceived as difficult to understand or insufficiently covered.
  • Revise materials based on participant feedback, focusing on areas where confusion or misunderstanding was most prevalent. Consider adding more visual aids, diagrams, or examples for complex legal concepts.
• Enhanced Delivery Techniques:
  • If feedback suggests that participants found certain parts of the training too dry or difficult to engage with, consider restructuring the delivery. For example, increase the use of case studies, role-playing exercises, and real-world examples to bring the material to life.
  • Ensure that future sessions include more interactive elements like live Q&A, polls, and hands-on activities to promote engagement and active learning.
• Customizing Future Sessions:
  • Tailor future sessions based on the specific needs of the departments or employee roles, especially those directly involved in procurement, tenders, and bids.
  • If certain compliance topics are found to be more relevant to some teams than others, consider offering customized sessions focusing on the most pertinent areas of legal compliance.
• Feedback Loop for Continuous Improvement:
  • Set up a feedback loop where participants are invited to continue sharing their thoughts and suggestions on the training program.
  • Use this ongoing feedback to iteratively improve the training content and delivery over time.

2. Evaluate Assessment Results

Objective: Review and assess the completed assessments to determine which employees meet the required compliance standards.

• Assessment Review:
  • Assign a team to review and score the assessments, ensuring consistency and fairness across all participants.
  • If assessments are conducted online, review the automated scoring reports generated by the platform, cross-referencing the answers to ensure correctness and understanding.
