Training Needs Assessment

Calyptus Group can help you to analyze the workforce’s strategic knowledge gaps and develop an action plan to address these gaps. We assess training needs by utilizing questionnaires, management and employee interviews, and skills and knowledge tests. Furthermore, we review succession plans, employee skills matrices and job descriptions to forecast the strategic impact of adding courses to the training curriculum and prioritize the urgency of each course recommended.

We can also recommend the most successful format for meeting training needs and areas for development based on the number, level and location of employees to be trained and training budget. Recommended actions may include in-house training, workshop attendance, university coursework, online learning or on-the-job training.
