Training Needs Assessment for Large Organizations: How Do You Effectively Manage It?

Could anyone advise me on the effective and practical way to conduct a training needs assessment within an organization with approximately 10,000 employees?

Thank you.

It depends on the structure of your organization and the target group that you want to train. If you want to train the managers, then it depends on which level of management you want to train: the top, the middle, or the first-level ones. If you want to train the supervisors, the strategy for assessment is different. If you want to train the office workers or the plant workmen, then the strategies will be different.

You have to clearly state whom you want to train and what the organizational structure is. Please provide more details for a better response.

One way is to record the development needs in the appraisal document, which has to be approved by the department heads. Once the appraisal process is complete, you can generate a report, consolidate all the needs, map the required training solutions (essentially training programs), and then develop a training plan for the entire organization.
