Training Needs Assessment

Training Needs Assessment (TNA) is the process of identifying an organization's training needs to ensure employees can perform their jobs effectively. It involves analyzing training needs at all levels of the organization. The TNA process identifies which jobs require training, whether employees have the skills and resources to do their jobs, and if employees receive feedback on their performance. Conducting a TNA helps ensure training programs have the correct objectives and content, employees are sent to relevant training, and resources are not wasted on unnecessary programs.
