Training Completion Rate
Percentage of employees who complete assigned mandatory or developmental training within the required timeframe
What is Training Completion Rate?
Training completion rate is the percentage of employees who finish the training they were assigned. It shows how well learning programmes are being taken up.
Low completion wastes investment and can leave gaps in skills or compliance.

How to calculate it
Divide employees completing training by employees assigned training, and multiply by 100.
