TRAINING NEEDS ANALYSIS (TNA)

Many businesses fail to recognise the value of training to improve competitiveness. The training effort in many organisations is often wasted as a result of poor (or non-existent) needs assessment. Surveys of most businesses reveal around 40% of organisations have no formal training schemes and around 32% have no formal instruction to develop skills. These statistics reveal a lack of recognition of the role human resource development (HRD) plays in the success of an organisation, or the lack of wanting to invest in training.
