HOW TO ASSESS EMPLOYEE’S NEEDS FOR TRAINING
Every company has goals which the company is trying to achieve. The main role plays employees who are the ones that actively participate in achieving the goals. That is the reason why the company should pay attention to them and evaluate if the employees have all qualifications, skills and knowledge that are the most efficient in achieving the goals. This evaluation can be provided through a very efficient method called training needs assessment, that discovers the training need of employees.
Training needs assessment
“Staff training needs are assessed through a process called a training needs analysis. The exact form that this takes will depend on the nature of the organization, the technology available, and the nature of the staff. However, the fundamental elements of a training needs analysis are the same. It is a three-step process: * Identify the training needs * Deliver training that meets the needs * Assess the effectiveness of the training.
These three steps are repeated over and over during the life-cycle of an organization. Continual assessment is required because the needs keep changing. Employees do not remain static they take on new roles and responsibilities. Their environment is also not static -- technology keeps changing, as do the demands of their organization.” (Knowles, 2009)
