  • Address existing performance gaps with targeted training
  • Align training with organisational goals

      What is Training Needs Analysis?

      “Training needs analysis helps identify gaps in skills, knowledge and behaviours. We can work with key individuals, teams or across the entire business to help you understand the gaps and offer objective advice on possible learning and development solutions”.

      Why you need a Training Needs Analysis?

      • Align training and strategic goals
      • Improve ROI, productivity, efficiency and performance
      • Enhance employee engagement and retention

      A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a crucial step in identifying the specific skills, knowledge, and competencies that employees need to improve or acquire to perform their roles effectively. As Learning & Development experts, we recommend conducting a TNA to ensure that your training initiatives are aligned with the strategic goals of your business and that training activity is targeted, timely and cost-efficient.

      Without a clear understanding of the training requirements, businesses risk investing time and resources into programs that may not address the actual gaps in performance or competency.

      By systematically assessing the needs of your workforce, you can prioritise training efforts that yield the greatest return on investment, improving productivity, efficiency, and overall business performance.

      Moreover, a TNA helps create a tailored approach to employee development, enabling you to target specific areas for improvement and deliver training that is relevant and impactful. It also ensures that employees receive the right support to meet current and future business challenges, ultimately fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.

      Additionally, businesses that conduct a thorough Training Needs Analysis are better positioned to enhance employee engagement and retention, as employees feel supported in their professional development. A well-executed TNA provides clarity on what training is necessary, allowing for more effective resource allocation and demonstrating a commitment to the development of your workforce.

        Our approach

        We will start by establishing an objective summary of the skills and knowledge needed for success both now and in the future. Individuals and teams will then be assessed against these criteria, in a variety of ways, including self, peer-, and third-party feedback.

        We will produce a comprehensive report, to help you consider how the training activities could be delivered to take into account your resources and budgets and the best way to ensure skills are transferred and applied. This helps you to prioritise when it comes to timing and investment and to consider alternative ways of supporting learning.

        At Reality HR, we emphasise the importance of conducting a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis (TNA) at three key levels: organisational, team, and individual. Each of these levels plays a distinct yet complementary role in ensuring that your training efforts are both targeted and effective.

          Reality HR - organisational training needs

          Organisational Training Needs Analysis focuses on aligning training initiatives with the broader goals and objectives of the business. This level assesses the skills and competencies needed across the entire organisation to support strategic priorities, adapt to industry changes, or address specific challenges.

          By conducting an organisational-level TNA, you can ensure that your workforce is equipped to meet long-term business goals and respond to market dynamics. This alignment is essential for driving overall performance and ensuring that training investments contribute to the company’s growth and success.


          Reality HR - team training needs

          Team Training Needs Analysis focusses on specific groups within the organisation, such as departments or functional units. At this level, we identify the collective skills and competencies required to improve team performance and achieve team-specific objectives.
          A team-level TNA is particularly valuable for addressing challenges such as communication breakdowns, collaboration issues, or gaps in technical expertise. By addressing team-specific needs, businesses can foster more cohesive, efficient, and high-performing teams that work effectively toward their shared goals.


          Reality HR - individual training needs

          Individual Training Needs Analysis focuses on the skills and development needs of each employee. It involves evaluating the strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations of individual team members to provide personalised development opportunities.

          An individual-level TNA ensures that employees have the knowledge and abilities required to perform their roles effectively, as well as the skills needed to advance in their careers. This level is essential for boosting employee engagement, improving performance, and supporting career progression.

          When all three levels of Training Needs Analysis are thoroughly addressed, businesses can ensure a holistic approach to employee development, which leads to improved organisational effectiveness, team cohesion, and individual growth.
