ADDIE Model

Meaning & Definition

The ADDIE Model is a systematic structure that supports the development of training and learning programs. The letters of ADDIE stand for: Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate. Using the ADDIE model in HR and L&D (learning and development) will be beneficial for organisations by allowing them to plan, create, develop and measure the effectiveness of their training programs in a systematic and results-oriented manner.

Important features of the ADDIE Model:

• It offers an organized and systematic way to create training interface designs.
• It helps align programs with the business and skill needs of the learners.
• It increases the effectiveness of training and engagement of learners.
• Evaluating and providing feedback supports the continuous improvement of training.
• It is often used in the areas of learning and development (L&D), onboarding, and upskilling.

Legal & Regulatory Considerations:

There is no statutory requirement or associated law directly referring to “ADDIE”.

However, this model will provide guidance and support for organisations to create:

• Organisational training and development policies.
• Comply with the requirements of planning for compliance training (POSH, Safety, Code of Conduct, etc.).
• Governance framework for skill development and learning.
