Introduction:
A training needs analysis must be carried out to employees within an organization as it helps to define the current training received by the employee and to then take it one step further to clarify whether or not the training is sufficient, or perhaps outdated and whether or not that employee feels as if they need to do more in terms of analyzing the training they have received and to evaluate it to then make the next step. “Training needs analysis refers to organizations’ data collection activities that underpin decision making, particularly in relation to whether training, can improve performance, who should receive training and training content” (Clarke, 2003).
In terms of creating an overall strategic planning process, a training needs analysis should be carried out as it helps to make any further or extra training done after the analysis make sense and to clarify the reasons why extra training is needed and pursued by the employee to further his or her skills and to perhaps move up in that given organization or to even move to a different one. The training needs analysis is important within an organization and to those who work there. In short the training needs analysis is to “utilize most effectively training dollars and resources” (Moore, 1978, pg 532). The analysis also helps to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the workforce which can only be achieved through the use of a training needs analysis. Training needs analysis relates to job performance and therefore leads to many different reasons as to where a training need can occur. “A training needs analysis is a tool used to establish the organization, departmental and individual objectives of those to be trained” (Eighteen, 1999).
However, job performance seems to be most relevant towards training needs yet when faced with the task of being trained, it seems as though with different jobs, different training and training needs analysis’ must be carried out since many different jobs work in different environments and are changing all the time.
