Training Needs Analysis or TNA helps an organization’s training and development activities be more effective by methodically examining training needs at various levels. It permits focused investments in employee development.
TNA begins by aligning with the strategic objectives of the organization. Once the organizational objectives are clear, the next step is to identify the specific skills and competencies needed to fulfill those objectives. A thorough assessment is conducted to evaluate the current skill levels of employees at different levels within the organization. By comparing the identified skills needed with the current skill levels, TNA helps pinpoint the gaps in knowledge and capabilities. Once the gaps are identified, the next step is to explore and identify suitable training courses or programs that address those specific skill deficiencies.
