2O14 TRAINING INDUSTRY REPORT ABOUT THIS STUDY Now in its 33rd year, The Industry Report is recognized as the training industry’s most trusted source of data on budgets, staffing, and programs. This year, the study was conducted by an outside research firm May-July 2014, when members from the Training magazine database were e-mailed an invitation to participate in an online survey. Only U.S.-based corporations and educational institutions with 100 or more employees were included in the analysis. Agencies of the state, local, and federal government were not included in the analysis. The data represents a cross-section of industries and company sizes. 28% (100-999 employees) Midsize 6/ @ 0,E0/, 5'@ ,-4*/ 0/;@ F*0 D,0/0# * 7*/ -,/@ 40"*//,/@ ,0/*@ */ ,/@ B,*** # *'@ A*+/0/1@ / /0 1 @ A0/0 # * @ *,/5@ #0E/1 #, /1@ 0D*/0/ "*, 0'@ 30 B095@ SURVEY RESPONDENTS Small companies Industrial Classifications Respondent profile by industry (weighted per Dun & Bradstreet). /0@ 0*+ /0/ (//*'@ 51 #E/:0 >@ 41% (1,000-9,999 employees) Large 31% (10,000 or more employees) Total respondents 998 About Survey Respondents: Note that the figures in this report are weighted by company size and industry according to a Dun & Bradstreet database available through Hoovers of U.S. companies. Since small companies dominate the U.S. market, in terms of sheer numbers, these organizations receive a heavier weighting, so that the data accurately reflects the U.S. market. 16 | NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2014 training tBSFNBOBHFSTPSBCPWFJOUIFPSHBOJ[BUJPO tBSFEFWFMPQFSTPSJOTUSVDUJPOBMEFTJHOFST tBSFNJEUPMPXMFWFMCBTFEPOUJUMFTFMFDUJPO BTTPDJBUFT tEFUFSNJOFUIFOFFEGPSQVSDIBTJOHQSPEVDUTBOETFSWJDFT tTFUUIFCVEHFU tNBOBHFSFRVFTUTGPSQSPQPTBMTCJET tSFDPNNFOEUIFQVSDIBTF tIBWFUIFmOBMQVSDIBTFEFDJTJPO www.trainingmag.com TRAINING EXPENDITURES Backed by an improving job market, a sharper focus on training to close skill gaps, and JODSFBTFENFSHFSTBOEBDRVJTJUJPOT activity leading to more midsize companies, total 2014 U.S. training expenditures—including payroll and spending on external products and services—jumped QFSDFOUUPCJMMJPO 5SBJOJOHQBZSPMMJODSFBTFE QFSDFOUGSPNCJMMJPOUP CJMMJPOXIJMFTQFOEJOHPO outside products and services rose QFSDFOUGSPNCJMMJPOUP CJMMJPO The training budget figure was calculated by projecting the average training budget to a weighted universe of companies, using a Dun & Bradstreet database available through Hoovers of U.S. organizations with more than 100 employees.
