A credible, practical way to estimate the ROI of people investments
Join the ranks of talent professionals who communicate impact with ease.
Development Impacts the Bottom Line — But It’s Difficult to Measure
Organizations invest heavily in leadership, coaching, culture, engagement, and workforce development initiatives - including AI adoption. Yet many struggle to clearly demonstrate the business value of those investments.
Without credible ROI estimates, it can be difficult to:
justify budgets,
secure executive support,
prioritize investments, and
communicate impact to stakeholders.
The ROI Estimator helps bridge that gap.
Following investment in a talent development activity, participants complete a short survey-based interview that prompts them to reflect on the impacts of the activity on themselves, and by extension, the people around them.
The ROI Estimator then converts those impacts into conservative financial estimates using research-based formulas and generates insightful impact reports, including the elusive gold standard of program evaluation: the financial ROI of the activity.
Organizations can also opt to include insights from key stakeholders, producing a 360° view of impact.
How it Works
The ROI Estimator is designed for HR and talent professionals across sectors. Our top users are:
