Training Need Analysis

In the 21st Century, the new disadvantaged will be those who do not have the capacity to learn. They will sink, unable to change and adapt as they are flooded with ever more information and change. But learning is about more than just getting by in a changing world. Our ability to learn is what makes us human: we are born curious and our ability to continue learning is what defines us - as individuals, as communities and as societies.


We are in a new age; the age of globalization, the age of competition. We have no choice but to prepare for this new age in which key to success will be continuous learning, and development of human mind and imagination. We are entering the Learning age! Entering into the unpredictable world, learning for lifetime has turned out to be of prime importance. And hence the need for learning organizations. Peter Senge, known as ‘Strategist of the Century’ stated that ‘learning organization’ which could adapt to the unpredictable more quickly than its competitors could. Ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage

An organization today can succeed only if they ‘discover how to tap people’s commitment and capacity to learn at all levels.’


An Idea of Learning Organisations


“Learning organization are a group of people who are continually enhancing their capabilities to create what they want to create and which has been deeply influential.” Thus for a learning organization, adaptive learning, learning required for survival is joined by generative learning, which enhances one’s capacity to create. Peter Senge in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’ talks about the five critical dimensions, a learning organization should master.

System Thinking “Fundamental principle of system thinking is that smart individuals are not needed, collective intelligence is. It is concerned with the understanding of the system by examining the linkages and interactions between the component that compromise the entirety of the defined system”


Personal Mastery “Personal mastery is not something that you possess but it is process. It is a discipline of continuously clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience and seeking reality objectively.”

Mental Models “Mental models are the deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations or pictures and images that deeply influence how we understand the world and how we take action. It starts with turning the mirror inward; learning to unearth our internal pictures of the world, to bring them to surface and hold them rigorously to scrutiny”


Building Shared Vision “A shared vision is a picture that everyone in the company carries in their head and hearts.” If you are a shareholder of the shared vision, you will work harder towards achieving it. It will encourage the team to take risks, experiment and become committed to the long term vision. All these factors empower an organisation to learn and transform itself. To lead, you need a shared vision!

Team Learning “It is a process of aligning and developing capacities of a team to create the results its members truly desire” Team learning starts with a dialogue, where all the members suspend their assumptions and enter into a genuine ‘Thinking Together’. With team learning, disagreements and conflicts can be sources of deeper thinking and better decision making and will lead to development of both self and organisation.

Voltas Training Training Policy Need Analysis


It is important to understand ‘How to turn learning and development into business results’. There is no magic bullet, which turns the learning and development program from the periphery to strategic importance. Break through learning is a disciplined and systematic approach, executed with passion, excellence, and a commitment of continuous improvement. When businesses invest in training, they expect the performance to rise. Learning x Transfer = Results Thus when the employee returns back from training, the transfer of training reflects in his work. When he uses the new way of doing his work, it often becomes harder and less familiar way. This path can be ensured by the ‘6 disciplines of breakthrough learning’ as discussed by Wick, Pollock, Jefferson & Flanagan in the book ‘The six disciplines of break through learning – How to turn training and development into business results’



D1: Define Define outcomes in business terms: It sets objectives not only with respect to what will be covered or learned, but also based on how it will be used to benefit business.Thus the first discipline is to rigorously define how the training program will contribute to organisations mission and productivity.

D2: Design Design the entire experience: What happens before and after the training is as important as what happens in the training. Thus learning transfer can be achieved by properly following the three phases; Preparation, Learning, Transfer and application.


D3: Deliver Deliver for application: Content covered is not content learned. Learning should emphasize application and minimize the learning – reducing gap, motivating employees and preparing them to put their learning to work. There is always a gap between learning and doing, D3 bridges that gap.

D4: Drive Drive follow through: Learning transfer is the weakest link in most of the learning and development programs. Learning which is not transferred and applied is learning scrap and is costly in terms of time, material and oppurtunity cost. Thus learning transfer requires a structured support system which includes, reminders, reflection, accountability, coaching, collaboration and content.


D5: Deploy Deploy performance support: In order to accelarate the transfer and application, organisations need to ensure that they provide the trainees with adequate sources of support. Learning and development programs create greater value when they include both accountability and support. Managers need to understand that they have a responsibility to support learning.

D6: Document Document results: Although difficult to evaluate, training results should be treated as any other corporate investement and ROI should be documented. Measures must be relevant, credible and compelling that justifies further investment and supports continous improvement.

You may wonder why am I supposed to take this training or you may wish to attend a particular training? You may wish to have a group of well-trained subordinates working with you or you may wish to add some knowledge to your basket! Training policy entails number of aspects which an employee should know to effectively grow in an organisation and to help others grow too!


Training Budget Preparation

• All training cost incurred is apportioned to the division/ department to which the employee belongs in consultation to the F&C Manager • Training budget needs to be prepared prior to the beginning of each financial year and include it into the strategic business plan document and Revenue Budget

Individual Development Plan • After the annual appraisal, the employees need to develop their ‘Individual Development Plan’ • The onus of Learning and developing oneself lies on the individual. • Immediate manager will play a supportive role.


Training Need Identification • By employee, immediate manager and the divisional head • By annual performance appraisal system • Internal customer satisfaction survey • External customer feedback

Initiation of Training • Corporate HR is responsible for initiating and organising all trainings except technical training. • Divisional heads are is responsibility for initiating and organising technical training.


Post Training • Self-study • An employee who attends a training course, seminar or workshop (internal or external) should • Present learning to group of colleagues from his/her division/ department and to Local Business Division Council. • The presentation should be of an hour to two hour duration. • It should be made within two weeks of attending the training program • Brief report regarding the training program should be submitted within a week


Training Assessment • Upto M1 level, concerned HR managers will evaluate the training effectiveness • From SM level and above, Corporate HR will be responsible for evaluating training effectiveness


Remember! It is the responsibility of the immediate manager and the functional/ divisional head to ensure developmental efforts which include:  Participation in task forces, special projects or cross-

functional job assignments  Executive coaching and mentoring  Self-study If the employee is nominated for a training program in a city other than his current city of work, prior approval should be taken from division head

Training Need Analysis

counter-productive to offer training to individuals who do not need it or to offer the wrong kind of training. A Training Needs Analysis helps to put the training resources to good use.


TNI by Corporate HR By employee, immediate manager and the divisional head The training need is identified by the employee themselves after discussing the same with their manager and divisional heads. This need is directly linked to the IDP (Individual Development Plan) of the employee.

By annual performance appraisal system The annual performance appraisal, helps in identifying the performance gaps. The performance gaps are also mapped by comparing the IDP with the current performance level of employees. These gaps help in developing the training framework for that particular year.


Internal customer satisfaction survey Internal customer satisfaction survey is conducted to understand the satisfaction level of internal customer i.e. employees. Based on the results of ICSS, changes are made in learning and development opportunities’ provided to employees if and when required.

External customer feedback The external customer feedback helps in understanding the satisfaction level achieved by the current performance levels. Understanding needs of external customer helps in updating the employees with the current customer needs through training and development.


TNI by Business HR IOBG – GEC The fresh recruits are trained in the 3D software before they could work on the same. Training need assessment is done using a skill mapping test. The minimum passing percentage is 80%. It is conducted twice a year. The employees scoring more than 80% are given advanced training and others are retrained. The process is similar for both 3D and 2D software.

EPBG At EPBG, the trainings are given for three purposes  To train the new employee on a particular machine  To train existing employee on another machine for multiskilling  To train existing service employee for sales Thus the training need identification is largely based on the type of employee. The employees working on a single machine for 2-3 years are send for multi scaling at the principal’s factory.

DPG The training need is identified in two ways • Discussion with the functional heads The discussion with functional heads is to determine the need for a particular training as a part of their future plans. It can also be department or project specific.


• Determining competency gaps 4 competencies namely, Basic, Operational, Proficient and Mastery have been identified for each function the employee has to perform. Based on the current proficiency level and the future expected proficiency level, the compentency gaps are identified. These compentency gap help in identifying the training needs.

UPBG Employees are expected to login into the ESS and fill trainings that they need based on their IDPs. Based on the need identified, new technology requirement and performance management system trainings are planned for that particular year.

Remember: It is advisable that at least one training program is identified for each employee, but at the same time it should not exceed three training programs for the year. The reporting managers MUST release the concerned employee on the date of the training program considering that there might be cost implications for withdrawing the nominations.


Learning through Training

It is not only important to understand the need but to take steps towards fulfilling it. That will help in translating your urge are a learner to learn more and develop yourself.

A skeptic might dismiss customer centricity as just another expensive management fad. Yet a recent Booz & Company study suggests that the problem isn’t the concept; it’s the execution. Companies that truly have a customer-centric business model have been able to reduce product development costs and increase customer retention and revenues. Thus customer centricity needs to be a competence and not a function which one has to develop.

Customer Centricity

Why blended learning?


 Leader is someone who is high on execution and creates Value  Without opportunities there are no leaders  As a Business Leader it is necessary to understand and appreciate different business context and people’s viewpoint

Core beliefs

 Leadership is not only about knowledge and skills but also a lot about qualities and attitude 

Learning happens best when Leaders are put to action and are provided with opportunity to reflect


Remember the difference between boss and leader; Boss says, “Go”

• Last two years performance potential • Recommendation from Business Group • Performance in Development Centre • Evaluation

Talent identification

Leader says, “Let’s go”
