Proven ROI
ELT ROI Case Study
Prior to training with ELT courses, a client averaged 110 employment-related claims annually between 1995 and 1998. In 1998, the client implemented ELT’s ongoing training program. After the training, the client independently commissioned a study to determine the ROI of the training program.
After the program's introduction, the client experienced a 42% reduction in the number of claims per year – from their previous average of 110 to 64. Excluding settlement and award costs, the client calculated a hard cost savings of $2.2 million dollars per year.
The complete savings and return on investment are calculated below:
- Note: Apx. 25% of claims go to trial.
- Dfference of 28 (25% of 110) and 16 (25% of 64) = 12 claims avoided going to trial.
