What is a common outcome of effective transfer of training?

The common outcome of effective transfer of training is enhanced employee performance on the job. When training is designed effectively and implemented successfully, employees are able to apply the knowledge and skills learned in training to their daily work tasks. This results in improved productivity, better quality of work, and overall greater effectiveness in their roles.

Effective transfer of training signifies that the training content is relevant and useful, which not only helps employees to retain and utilize the information but also boosts their confidence and motivation. Consequently, organizations that facilitate this transfer observe tangible benefits such as increased employee performance, which can lead to achieving organizational goals and improved overall performance metrics.

In contrast, decreased job satisfaction, higher training costs, and increased absenteeism are generally negative outcomes that could arise from ineffective training or poor application of learned skills, indicating a lack of effective transfer. However, they do not reflect the positive impact that successful transfer of training has on employee performance.
