How Do I Create a Manager-Focused Training Need Analysis Form for Employees Without KRAs?

Training Need Analysis: Request for Assistance

We are now starting a Training Need Analysis. We have some employees, like merchandisers, who do not have Key Result Areas (KRA) or Job Descriptions (JD) provided to them. I was trying to set KRAs for them. When I discussed this with our CEO, he asked me to create an analysis form for these employees, which should be filled out by their Manager.

I have one form that can be filled out by the employee after freezing KRAs. Can you give me some tips for creating an analysis form to be filled out by the concerned Manager?

I am attaching an analysis form that I have. The same can be filled out by the employee. Please advise me on how I can modify this form to be filled out by the Manager.

Dear Shajeer,

I have gone through the form that you have attached to your post. There is one important thing about the form. You have asked these questions to the individual. The respondent will give responses depending on one's self-awareness. If the self-awareness is poor, then you will get distorted replies. How will you handle this situation?

I recommend revising the form and addressing the questions to the manager of the employee. After all, the manager's assessment is quite important.

Let me give my own example. In the course of the annual PA, I had a misconception about one of the attributes of PA. My GM had given slightly low marks on that attribute. When I asked for clarification, he told me how I lacked that attribute.

TNA is not something that can be delegated to the individual 100%. Secondly, TNA is not just individual competencies. You need to take into account the measures of performance of that department as well. I recommend referring to my following comments on some previous post:
