in Profile - Training Needs Analysis: |
Training Needs Analysis
is a vital process for any organisation wanting to accurately
identify what training courses and development activities
are needed by employees to improve their productivity.
A carefully designed Training Needs Analysis process
can help minimise the impact of skills shortages and
expenses wasted on inappropriate or unnecessary training.
Some
of the key benefits of conducting Training Needs Analysis surveys are:
- To help pinpoint where training will make a difference
in productivity and improve bottom line performance;
- To
decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve their
job performance;
- To differentiate between
the need for training and any wider organisational challenges faced;
- To
focus resources more accurately on critical success areas.
The PeoplePulse tool
offers an excellent platform to conduct cost effective
Training Needs Analysis surveys. To view some sample
