Most organisations know they should be investing in training, but the challenge lies in knowing where to start and what will make the biggest impact.
At Future Institute of Australia, we recommend beginning with a Training Needs Analysis workshop, a powerful tool to uncover the real development needs of your people, backed by data and direct input from your teams.
What is a Training Needs Analysis?
A Training Needs Analysis, or TNA, is a structured process designed to identify ‘performance opportunities’, areas where individuals, teams, or departments can benefit from skill development. Whether the goal is to close capability gaps, improve performance, or support future growth, a TNA ensures your training initiatives are targeted, strategic, and impactful.
How the Workshop Works
We facilitate a collaborative, interactive workshop with up to 20 selected participants, each representing different sectors of your business. These individuals are not only providing valuable insights but are also the intended audience for the future training rollout.
Involving them early in the process means:
- Greater engagement in future learning
- Stronger buy-in for change
- More accurate insights into what’s really needed
Benefits of a Training Needs Analysis
Targeted and Relevant Training
Training is designed around actual needs, not guesswork, ensuring it’s practical, applicable, and drives measurable performance outcomes.
Budget Friendly
Avoid wasting resources on generic programs. TNA helps direct your training budget to the areas that will deliver real ROI.
Employee Engagement
When employees see that training is designed for them, they feel valued, heard, and more invested in the organisation’s success.
Better Decision Making and Succession Planning
Understand your current and future skill needs. Use insights for talent development, succession planning, and workforce strategy.
Aligned with Business Goals
Training becomes a tool to meet strategic objectives, not just a tick-box exercise.
