Training Needs Analysis Workshop...

How to Analyze Symptoms and Causes to Determine Cost-Beneficial Solutions

Introduction

Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is another step in ESF's process of becoming a professional trainer, hence the name "ProTrainer" which is ESF's Total Training Process (ESF's ISD Model).

The TNA Workshop enables the training professional to analyze Symptoms and Causes in order to provide a Solution Mix to Performance Pproblems based on a Cost/Benefit Analysis of the Solutions.

 

What You Will Learn...

During ESF's competency-based Training Needs Analysis Workshop, you will learn how performance problems, symptoms, causes, and solutions interrelate, and how to conduct a cost/benefit analysis to provide the proper solution.

Specifically, in ESF's Training Needs Analysis Workshop , you will learn that:

  • A Performance Problem refers to the inability of an employee to perform an assigned job task. ESF defines Performance as successfully accomplishing an assigned job task, whereas a Performance Problem is the discrepancy between the desired results and the actual outcome. For example, information is missing from a travel expense report; wrong information is included in a written report; participants at a meeting become angry at each other; a machine continually fails to operate.
  • Symptoms are observable indicators of a performance problem. Symptoms can be considered as observable indicators of differences between what you expect (or desire) employees to perform and their actual performance, i.e., the difference between what the employees should be doing and what they are actually doing.
  • A Cause explains WHY a Symptom exists. The cause of a performance problem may be:
  • Lack of training,
  • Lack of adequate resources, environment, or systems (R.E.S.), or
  • A combination of lack of (or inadequate) training and lack of (or inadequate) resources, environment, and organizational systems.

    • To determine the cause of a performance problem, ask the following question: "What is the possible reason or explanation for the symptoms existing?"

  • A Solution is a method of correcting a symptom by eliminating the cause. Solutions can combine a "mix" of both training and non-training solutions. Inadequate training requires Training Solutions; Causes not related to training require non-training solutions.
  • You can conduct a Cost/Benefit Analysis for both training and non-training solutions.

What You Will Do...

During ESF's competency-based Training Needs Analysis Workshop,you will:

  • Identify performance problems such as:
  • Loss of sales, failure to meet objectives, etc.
  • Analyze signs of the performance problem such as:
  • Absenteeism, machine downtime, accidents, property damage, etc.
  • Determine if causes are related to:
  • Lack of training, or
  • Poor resources, environment, systems (R.E.S.)
  • Survey those most affected by performance problems to:
  • Verify causes
  • Identify possible solutions
  • Determine costs and benefits of various solutions
  • Implement the most cost/beneficial mix of training and non-training solutions

What You Will Receive...

As part of the Training Needs Analysis Workshop, you will receive:

  • ESF's proprietary, self-paced instructional Workbooks:
  • Training Needs Analysis Process: An Overview
  • Symptoms, Causes, and Solutions
  • Collecting Information From Individuals
  • Identify the Costs and Benefits of Various Solutions
