All you need to know about tools, training needs

In a constantly changing professional environment, companies must ensure the continuous adaptation of skills of their employees. Accurately identifying training needs is a key step in ensuring the performance and competitiveness of teams.

Good training management requires an in-depth analysis of existing gaps, the identification of strategic objectives and the adoption of appropriate tools. How do you proceed? What tools and methods should be used to analyze and gather these needs?

This article guides you through an effective process and introduces you to solutions such as the Didask LMS platform to optimize your training strategy.

What is training needs assessment?

The assessment of training needs consists of analyzing the current skills of employees and comparing them to the requirements of the positions and objectives of the company. This analysis makes it possible to set up training actions adapted to individual and collective needs.

It is part of a predictive management of jobs and skills (GPEC) approach, which is essential to ensure the professional development of employees and the competitiveness of the organization.

Why assess learners' training needs?

The analysis of training needs meets several crucial challenges for companies:

• Improving individual and collective performance: an increase in skills makes it possible to optimize productivity.
• Anticipating market and organizational changes: adapt training courses to technological and economic transformations.
• Promote the commitment and motivation of employees: training adapted to individual expectations boosts the involvement of teams.
• Ensuring compliance with mandatory training courses: some skills need to be updated regularly to meet legal requirements.

Identify your company's training goals

Before determining training needs, it is essential to define the strategic goals of the organization. To do this, several questions need to be answered:

• What skills are essential for business development?
• What are the key positions and their planned evolutions?
• What are the recurring training needs?
• What are the specific training needs?
• How can training be aligned with growth and innovation ambitions?

By integrating these elements, the company can build a coherent and relevant training plan.

Prioritize needs according to their necessity

Once needs are identified, it is crucial to prioritize them in order to maximize their impact. This prioritization can be carried out according to several criteria:

• Urgency and impact on business: some paths are essential to maintain operational efficiency.
• Compliance with regulations: some training courses are mandatory to comply with current standards.
• Adequacy with the expectations of employees: taking into account the career aspirations of employees reinforces their commitment.
• Return on investment: assess the benefits of the training based on the costs incurred.

How can training needs be collected?

Individual and group interviews

Exchanges with managers and employees make it possible to identify the skills to be developed and the difficulties encountered in the field. These interviews offer a qualitative vision of training needs.

Quizzes and surveys

Questionnaires allow the collection of quantitative and qualitative data on perceived and desired skills. They offer an overview of employee expectations and the areas for improvement identified by training managers.

Performance analysis

The study of employee results and key performance indicators (KPIs) highlights shortcomings and areas requiring targeted training actions.

Set up and follow the training courses

Once the needs have been identified, the implementation of training courses must follow a structuring process:

1. Creating a training catalog : design a panel of courses adapted to the needs identified.
2. Deployment of training courses via an LMS platform: an LMS facilitates access to courses and the monitoring of employee career paths.
3. Follow-up and adjustment of training courses: analyze learners' feedback and adjust the content according to the results obtained.
4. Use of adaptive learning and the AI assistant: personalize learning to optimize skills acquisition
5. Ongoing evaluation: thanks to LMS tools, it is possible to measure the impact of training on the achievements of employees and to adjust the strategy accordingly.
