Training Needs Analysis

To ensure the best possible returns for your organisation, training and development activities, like any investment, have to be targeted, planned and managed. First and foremost, the training and development required for the organisation to achieve its objectives must be properly identified and prioritised.

A training needs analysis (TNA) is a way of looking realistically at your organisation today, and what it might become tomorrow. It means judging whether the skills your staff and managers have are sufficient and relevant to meet the needs of your organisation now and in the future whilst finding ways to fill any skills gaps that you identify.

What can training needs analysis do for your organisation?

If you are unsure about the exact nature of your training needs, a TNA will help identify the precise areas where training is needed. A TNA will also:

  • Ensure that training and development initiatives are aligned with your organisational goals and culture
  • Determine the training and development activity required to improve performance
  • Provide valuable succession planning information
  • Contribute towards staff taking responsibility for their own development
  • Highlight individual talents which may be currently under utilised
  • Ensure that corporate resources are most appropriately targeted
