Training Cost Per Employee = Total Training Budget / Total Employees
This metric quantifies your investment in human capital development. Include direct costs (courses, certifications, conferences, trainers, materials) and indirect costs (employee time away from productive work). Companies that invest in training see lower turnover, faster skill development, and stronger employee engagement.
