Training Need Analysis (TNA) & Measuring ROI

Master Competency Mapping, Gap Analysis, and Prove the True Value of Your Learning & Development Programs

Full-Day Classroom Seminar

Course Overview

It is very easy to assume that training is always a good investment for a company, but that is not always the case. Even when it is a good investment, organizations often face multiple options, and some of those options will be significantly more effective than others. The critical challenge for HR and business leaders is figuring out exactly when your learning and development activities are actually good investments.

This workshop equips participants with a highly practical and comprehensive framework to help them accurately assess the impact of training on employees within their organization. You will learn to transition from reactive order-taking to strategic consulting by mastering the art of identifying competency gaps required for effective job performance. By the end of this program, you will know how to map roles, execute deep gap analyses, and utilize proven tools to measure tangible Return on Investment (ROI).

What you will learn

  • Identify the key competencies required for different job roles to ensure effective job performance across your organization.
  • Conduct a thorough competency gap analysis by utilizing proven methods and analyzing the current competency levels of employees.
  • Develop a professional TNA report that accurately reflects organizational competency gaps and presents findings in a clear and concise manner.
  • Design and deliver targeted training and development programs that directly address identified competency gaps using appropriate methods and techniques.
  • Measure training ROI effectively by leveraging Kirkpatrick’s Four-Level Training Evaluation Model and Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Objectives.
  • Evaluate behavior change and actual workplace application by utilizing 360-degree feedback, observation techniques, and feedback mechanisms.
  • Assess learning outcomes by designing effective pre-tests and post-tests, and using targeted surveys and questionnaires.
