Strategic Training Needs Analysis

Introduction

Training has specific goals of improving one’s capability, capacity, productivity and performance. Training helps to enhance competency of employees which leads to the overall ORGANIZATIONAL EXCELLENCE!

Training needs analysis (TNA) is the initial stage in training process. It involves a procedure to determine whether training is needed to address issues with regards to competency. Competency is a blend of attributes, knowledge, skills, & attitude. While the former is almost fixed, the other three are trainable.

TNA looks at each aspect in an organization, a department, and a specific task or job’s requirements in order to identify the gaps. Once gaps are identified, a strategic and structured TNA system can be effective in identifying, planning, implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of each specified training.
