GATHERING INFORMATION FOR NEEDS ANALYSIS

GATHERING INFORMATION FOR NEEDS ANALYSIS

1. A needs assessment is the process of systematically collecting and analysing information in order to identify who is at risk, why, and what can be done about it.

2. Interviews

   • The trainer uses this technique to identify people who can provide information about the need and then interviews them.

3. Focus groups

   • Another approach is a focus group. Somewhat like the interview, the trainer identifies key people who can provide information about the need.

4. Questionnaires

   • A tool is used when a trainer wants to collect specific information from a large group or a widely dispersed group.

5. Observation

   • This is a good needs assessment technique in two circumstances. First, it is useful when a trainer is assessing the need for skill-based training. Second, it is a good technique to use when a trainer is asked to conduct a program that changes behavior

6. Informal discussions

   • In this approach, the trainer gathers data about training needs through informal conversations with other employees, supervisors, and managers in the organization.

7. Analysis of Data

   • Identify key areas
   • Stablish Priorities
