Training Needs Analysis

Training and re-training employees can be a critical component for any organization. Improperly trained employees can cause severe damage to the professionalism and credibility of an organization. Properly trained employees can only bring success to all areas of an organization.

The key to successful training is determining what exactly is expected or needed in the training session whether or not the training was successful. Throwing good resources after bad resources is counterproductive; quality training is a major solution to many organizational problems. Determining training needs will pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses within an organization's structure and help you determine who needs what kind of training. A post-training quality survey will ensure that you are providing the most effective training for employees.

In order to accommodate the many needs of organizations around the world, Training Technologies offers the following solutions to gather feedback for your Training Needs Analysis:


SurveyTracker Survey Software: The Desktop Solution

SurveyTracker can be used to create a survey that you can distribute over the Web, two types of e-mail, Survey-by-Disk, network, kiosk, non-scannable paper, and scannable paper form (depending on the version purchased). See the various version links for a description of the capabilities of each release and the Standard Features page for the features common to each version.

Web, Intranet, and e-mail surveys are ideal methods for Needs Assessments because they can reach trainees around the world with minimal resources and time required. This is critical if your trainees are not in the same office but you need to coordinate their expectations or skills prior to their training session. See Form-Based E-Mail Surveys, Text-Based E-Mail Surveys, and Web Surveys for details.

SurveyTracker handles any other type of survey you may want to conduct and it generates powerful reports. See our Product Information page for more information.
