Friends,
Can you help me? I am trying to find a formula for how many trainers (HR specifically) should be hired to serve how many employees.
Most research I've done suggests 2.2 (3) trainers per 100 employees.
I am calculating how many classes, how long the classes are, development for future training needs, and organizational development....(what am I missing?)
If you feel comfortable (and it can be anonymous, of course) could you share how many HR trainers you have for your companies and how many employees they serve? Throw in there if you think the number is adequate, too low, or too high.
I would appreciate it so much!

Has anyone successfully landed a job out of state?
I'm in the final stages of possibly landing a job at a phenomenal company out of state, in an area I'd love to move to. My SO and I would rent out there but we need to sell our house first. His job is flexible so no issue there and we don't have kids. Luckily we live in a desirable area where the houses…

I was made redundant last December, just after returning from maternity leave, and it was a tough time with a little one at home.
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…

Interesting research. For clarification, are you only seeking "in-house" HR trainers? Most of the companies I've worked for barely had 1 HR person and they outsourced - if they did anything at all. Sometimes it was a partnership perk (with a benefits provider like insurance or professional development). Sometimes they asked Sr. leadership to provide lunch and learn sessions to the staff esp . if Sr. leadership had a terminal degree). Sometimes they had several HR folks, but they used outside consultants.
From the sessions I've attended, the ratio depends on the work. If care and attention to break out teams is needed, you'll need more trainers (or assistants). I've seen 1 trainer present to <100 people, but it was more lecture style. Even with break out sessions, it was only if there were highly skilled participants who could lead the small group work.
More typically, I've seen 1 trainer to 15-20 people. The best in-person training session I saw was 1 lead trainer + 2 assistants for 80 people. The best online training session I saw was 1 trainer plus 2 assistants managing virtual chat /Q&A while presenting to 100-130 virtual attendees.
Good luck.
