Training Need Analysis (TNA)
Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a series of activities to define the gap between the current and
the desired individual and organizational performances. It identifies the areas where both
individuals and an organization would benefit from training in order to become more effective at
achieving the individuals’ own objectives and the objectives of the Organization.
TNA is a systematic process based on specific information converging techniques. It proceeds in
stages, with the findings of one stage helping to shape the next one. Each particular stage
requires its own mix of observations and analysis. It is not a one‐time event. Organizations need
to carry it out every year and the training/development plan resulting from it is to be
implemented in the following year. TNA gives performance improvement, introduction of new
system, task or technology and organizational benefits.
