New Trainer Struggling with Training Needs Analysis – Where Should I Start?

Hi everyone, I am confused here and would appreciate your help in addressing my dilemma. I am a new trainer at this postal company and, as such, I am tasked with carrying out the Training Needs Analysis. I do not know where to start or how to go about carrying it out.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please attach PowerPoint presentations, videos, etc., to my email address: [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

Thank you in advance.

Understanding Your Organization's Strategic Intent

1. Get the "pulse" of your organization's "strategic intent" (the real one).

2. Get a "feel" of where your organization stands with regard to where it intends to go. Obtain a "very rough" idea of the gap (in knowledge, attitude, skill).

3. Fine-tune this with techniques and methods available in various fora, including this one.

Hope this helps you to start. Yes, you will have a lot of doubts before you start, but just "jump in." If you still have doubts, please email [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

All the best.
