Why Training Need Analysis ?
Training need analysis is conducted to determine whether resources required are available or not. It helps to plan the budget of the company, areas where training is required, and also highlights the occasions where training might not be appropriate but requires alternate action.
Corporate need and training need are interdependent because the organization
performance ultimately depends on the performance of its individual employee and its sub group.
Organizational Level –
Training need analysis at organizational level focuses on strategic planning, business need, and goals. It starts with the assessment of internal environment of the organization such as,
Procedures, structures, policies, strengths, and weaknesses and
External environment such as opportunities and threats.
After doing the SWOT analysis, weaknesses can be dealt with the training interventions,
while strengths can further be strengthened with continued training.
Threats can be reduced by identifying the areas where training is required., and, opportunities can be exploited by balancing it against costs.

Individual Level –
Training need analysis at individual level focuses on each and every individual in the organization.
At this level, the organization checks whether an employee is performing at desired level or the performance is below expectation.
If the difference between the expected performance and actual performance comes out to be positive, then certainly there is a need of training.
INDIVIDUAL LEVEL
However, individual competence can also be linked to individual need. The methods that are used to analyze the individual need are: Appraisal and performance review
Feedback towards Individual’s Success Criteria in terms of Leadership & Functional Competency
Peer appraisal - Colleagues in same department
Competency assessments - Own + Line Manger’s Assessment
Subordinate appraisal - Bottom up approach
Client feedback - Stakeholders’ Feedback on service
Customer feedback - On Service
Self-assessment or self-appraisal - Own Assessments

Operational Level –
Training Need analysis at operational level focuses on the work that is being assigned to the employees. The job analyst gathers the information on whether the job is clearly understood by an employee or not.
He also gathers this information through,
technical interview, observation, psychological test; questionnaires asking the closed ended as well as open ended questions, Pre & Post Gap Analysis, feedback technique etc.
Today, jobs are dynamic and keep changing over the time. Employees need to prepare for these changes. The job analyst also gathers information on the tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that will be required in the future.
Based on the information collected, training Need analysis (TNA) is done.
OPERATIONAL LEVEL
You also gain these benefits through interviewing :
1.You build credibility with your interviewees by asking intelligent questions and Listening well to their answers
2. You obtain employees’ personal involvement and commitment to your efforts
3. You establish personal relationships with potential trainees who are important to your success as a needs analyst and trainer and Facilitators
Interviewing Technique (Operational Level)
Questionnaire Sample (Operational Level)
Such Activity examines various methods of identifying needs through observation and work sampling and sets the participants to work in a truly ‘hands-on’ style.
Introduce the activity by defining observation and work sampling as an excellent method of identifying and analysing learning and development needs and maintaining high standards. Participants then work in pairs to suggest as many benefits as possible,
Step: 1) before moving on to consider who should carry out the observation and work sampling. Next, they suggest specific areas within an organization where it would take place. You divide the participants into pairs and ask each of them to select a suggestion that relates to their partner’s area of work.
Observation Technique (Operational Level)
Step 2) Participant then use various sources to compile a detailed checklist of what they want to observe or sample. Participants spend 20 minutes out in the workplace, sampling or observing their chosen area. They reconvene for plenary feedback and discussion.
Step 3) Finally, the participants develop personal action plans describing how they will take this concept forward.
Step 4) You then ask for one action point from each participant and conclude by summarizing the key learning points from the activity.
The process of examining a training program is called training evaluation. Training evaluation checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluation ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their respective workplaces, or to the regular work routines.
Purposes of Training Evaluation
The five main purposes of training evaluation are:
Training Effectiveness
1. Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives and linking it to learning outcomes.
2. Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge, transfer of knowledge at the work place, and training.
3. Control : It helps in controlling the training program because if the training is not effective, then it can be dealt with accordingly.
4. Power games : At times, the top management (higher authoritative employee) uses the evaluative data to manipulate it for their own benefits.
5. Intervention : It helps in determining that whether the actual outcomes are aligned with the expected outcomes.
Before Training:
The learner's skills and knowledge are assessed before the training program. During the start of training, candidates generally perceive it as a waste of resources because at most of the times candidates are unaware of the objectives and learning outcomes of the program.
Once aware, they are asked to give their opinions on the methods used and whether those methods confirm to the candidates preferences and learning style.
During Training:
It is the phase at which instruction is started. This phase usually consist of short tests at regular intervals
After Training:
It is the phase when learner’s skills and knowledge are assessed again to measure the effectiveness of the training. This phase is designed to determine whether training has had the desired effect at individual department and organizational levels. There are various evaluation techniques for this phase.
Techniques of Evaluation
The various methods of training evaluation are: ObservationQuestionnaire (Pre & post Gap Analysis)InterviewSelf diaries etc.
