Evaluations

 

The Mentoring Institute understands the value of using evaluations to measure successes and challenges for promoting optimal organizational performance. Periodically conducting evaluations can help an organization identify what is and isn’t working, and enables more efficient realization of individual and collaborative goals.

Evaluation is a process that critically examines a program. It involves collecting and analyzing information about a program's activities, characteristics, and outcomes. Its purpose is to make judgments about a program, to improve its effectiveness, and/or to inform programming decisions (Patton, 1987).

Evaluation offers both qualitative and quantitative data on program success and progress. Evaluation data accumulated can create a clear picture of your organization or program's impact, and can enable effective outside communication. This type of communication can be critical for public relations, employee morale, and attracting and retaining support from funders.

The Mentoring Institute wants to help your company create a program evaluation, especially tailored to fit your unique program. Contact us now to learn more!
