Yet, most organizations still rely on outdated or incomplete metrics to evaluate training success.\r\n\r\nThis report introduces the net engagement index (NEI), a new way to measure how likely learners are to re-engage with training. It\u2019s simple, powerful and grounded in the same logic as net promoter score, but tailored for learning and development (L&amp;D).\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>By surveying hundreds of learning leaders, we set out to:<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Understand how engagement varies by topic, modality and industry<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Identify patterns that can guide smarter training investments<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Provide a practical tool for benchmarking and continuous improvement<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 500;\">Why It Matters<\/h2>\r\n<span data-contrast=\"auto\">Engagement is the gateway to learning,\u00a0and learning is the engine of transformation.
