Not Just For Trainers And Instructional Designers But Ideal For HR, Managers

Trainers and instructional designers tend to skip the needs assessment process to save time, but if you are either, you are going to miss the mark if you don't do it. The process in this mini-guide is manageable and practical.

Finally, a basic, thorough approach for determining what staff/employees need in terms of training, AND communicated in a way that any manager, HR professional or executive can understand. Doing a training needs assessment can be relatively simple (our choice) or quite complex. If you want to upgrade the skills of your employees AND benefit from the investment in training, this is a MUST read. Short, to the point, and in plain language, it's the starting point to ensure return on investment (time and money) for training.

The Point: Whether you are a manager, a trainer or a human resources professional, you want to make sure that the training you set up for employees helps your organization and the people in it succeed. You want a return on investment, and you want training to be seen as relevant and valuable by the people that attend.
