Number of learning days per operational workers/office staff employee
This measure calculates the average number of days per operational workers/office staff employee (i.e. those with no management responsibility) that were dedicated to learning. It is calculated by dividing the total number of days utilized for learning of a particular task/subject by the total number of operational workers/office staff employees dedicated to learn a particular task/subject. As part of a set of Supplemental Information measures, it helps companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for the "develop and train employees" process.
