Needs Analysis

The Training Needs Analysis function enables you to process training needs that have been identified and entered for individual employees. The Training Needs are entered on an employee’s record in the Credentials menu.

This function identifies training courses that one or more employees should attend and automatically creates a Training Event. The function enables you to retrieve and review Training Needs using criteria fields at the top of the window.

The Training Needs window shows a list of training needs for all employees. The list can be interrogated in several ways.

By utilising the Course drop-down menu and selecting the relevant course. Select Review and the specific Training Need will feature on the window.

Alternatively, you can use the ‘drag a column header’ option to review training needs dates, priorities etc…

Toclear this training need in order to view others or search for a different training need, select Clear.

Simply highlight the employees’ names in the ‘candidates’ box and click on the arrows in the middle of the screen to transfer the names to the ‘selected for event’ box. For single candidates click on the single arrow, for all candidates click on the double arrows.

Here you input the details of the Training Event including training code and description, course provider, dates and times of the course, costs plus other qualifiers relevant to your organisation.
