• Strengths and weaknesses

  A training needs assessment survey identifies your strengths and how you can best use them. It also unveils your weak points and what you need to improve them. Ask the right questions so that when you collect the survey responses, you know what changes you need to make in training.

• Methodologies

  You can classify your training schedule into organization-level training and individual-specific training. The former is designed for the entire organization. You can nominate your team to attend the session, or you can require their presence. The latter is arranged based on individual needs. Specific tools can be used for a unique experience. This helps in the overall performance development of your team. You can also plan if you want to conduct the session as an e-learning course, a webinar, or a live session. Be sure to ask your team on what they prefer.
