As the name suggests the TNA is an attempt to understand the training needs in organization. The analysis presents an approach to identify the gap between the existing performance level in the employees and the desired level of performance to achieve the organizational goals. In other words it identifies the gaps in the skills, knowledge and attitudes of the workforce and indicates the training inputs required to improve employee performance. It is essentially a diagnostic tool for the trainers.

Training Need Analysis TNA in short, is an important tool in a trainer's tool kit. A structured TNA is balanced on an understanding of the organization's needs on one hand and the employee's need on the other. It is very interesting to note that Toyota company carried out a research that in a business process 65% of the activity is wasted, 30% of the activity, though useful, add no value and the balance 5% only add value. That being the statistical view of organizational activity, identifying training needs makes eminent sense for a professional training outfit. In simple words, TNA is asking the right questions. And what are the right questions? They are the questions that provide basic information the training department needs, to enable the employees measure up to the business needs.
