In the context of the evaluation of training programs, the best way to ensure that changes have occurred because of training and not just the passage of time is to:

A) use work simulation techniques to assess employees.
B) train employees for only some job-related tasks, but not for others.
C) have a control group of employees who work on the same job, but do not receive training.
D) train employees at regular intervals.

Evaluation of Training Programs

The process of assessing the effectiveness of training sessions to determine if goals and objectives were met.

Control Group

In experimental research, a group of subjects that is not exposed to the experimental treatment, used as a benchmark to measure the effect of the treatment.

Work Simulation Techniques

Methods used in employee selection and assessment that involve simulating a piece of work to evaluate the candidate's performance and suitability for the job.
