In 2007, our investment in training and development decreased compared with the year before. This reflects an increased focus on e-learning and on-the-job training, which are less costly than classroom based training.
The number of training sessions increased in 2007. We delivered more than 179,000 instructor-led and 1,261,000 e-learning sessions online and through our virtual classrooms and HP Virtual Labs (live sites used to achieve certified training). Employees attended an average of 8.5 classes each. Approximately 28 percent of managers (4,000 people) participated in leadership training.
