Introduction
One of the dilemmas confronting organizational trainers and HRD Practitioners is providing a rationale for recommended training interventions to top management and securing the needed budget for such programs. This could be minimized or eliminated if such training proposals are based on the actual improvement needs of the organization. This is the main objective of conducting the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) for organizations which is oftentimes not done by program sponsors.
If properly done, TNA will also make it easier for professional trainers to determine the returns on the training investment that management is constantly seeking. Thus, the training department will no longer be labelled as an expensive account but as a profit centre that contributes to the company’s overall profitability.
