Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is a tool designed by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India, being useful for development of knowledge and skills of the officials of an organization. TNA can be undertaken for an organization as a whole, or for a particular section or function. It may include analysis of an organization’s current performance problems, or in anticipation of changes that are likely to require training. TNA focuses attention on ‘performance’ to identify training needs, along with other, non-training implications. Once performance problems have been identified and analyzed, they can be reviewed according to their priorities. After establishing the priorities, further, more detailed analysis can be done to identify precise training needs. These needs should concern everybody associated with a particular performance problem, irrespective of their status or number. TNA has been applied to solve the performance problem of the Hydrogeologists of Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), Northern Region, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The TNA encompasses the components like Terms of Reference (ToR), SWOT analysis, SPIO analysis, Responsibility Mapping, EMB factors, PEST analysis, and Fishbone analysis followed by diagnosis of the collected data and recommendations. The proper identification of performance problem is a key to address the organizational development goals in right manner. Many performance problems in the hydrogeological discipline of client organization related to environmental, motivational and behavioural (EMB) factors influencing desired performance of CGWB, NR were identified during the interaction with the client and stakeholders and also through interview with set of questionnaire. To achieve the vision and mission of client organization and to improve its performance, training and non-training implications, Training Plan, Priority List and design brief have been proposed.

Abstract Background Continuous professional development (CPD) has been reported to enhance healthcare workers’ knowledge and skills, improve retention and recruitment, improve the quality of patient care, and reduce patient mortality. Therefore, validated training needs assessment tools are important to facilitate the design of effective CPD programs. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires. Participants were healthcare workers in reproductive, maternal, and neonatal health (RMNH) from seven hospitals, 12 health centers, and 17 dispensaries in eight districts of Mwanza Region, Tanzania. The training needs analysis (TNA) tool that was used for data collection was adapted and translated into Kiswahili from English version of the Hennessy-Hicks’ Training Need Analysis Questionnaire (TNAQ). Results In total, 153 healthcare workers participated in this study. Most participants were female 83 % (n = 127), and 76 % (n = 115) were nurses. The average age was 39 years, and the mean duration working in RMNH was 7.9 years. The reliability of the adapted TNAQ was 0.954. Assessment of construct validity indicated that the comparative fit index was equal to 1. Conclusions The adapted TNAQ appears to be reliable and valid for identifying professional training needs among healthcare workers in RMNH settings in Mwanza Region, Tanzania. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to test the use of the TNAQ in broader healthcare systems and settings.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the right training for employees of BKKBN Representative Office in Lampung province based on the results of the training needs analysis. Research methodology: This research was a quantitative research with cross sectional approach. The number of samples in this study was 336 Family Planning Instructors (PKB) in Lampung Province. The data were collected through questionnaire instruments. Results: The results of training needs analysis for PKB showed that the obstacles in carrying out the duties mostly came from the internal factors which are related to personal tasks and competencies. The training required by PKB is training related to reproductive health, advocacy skills, and utilization of technology, article making and scientific papers, problem solving techniques, and effective communication. Limitations: For further research, it is recommended that researchers conduct organizational analysis and using varied data collection methods. Contribution: The results of this study can be a reference for BKKBN Lampung Province in conducting appropriate training for family planning counsellor (PKB) so that the effectiveness and productivity of the organization increases. Keywords: Training needs analysis, Family Planning Instructors (PKB)

The growth of construction industry in Malaysia is stimulated by various mega infrastructure projects. Due to this, the competent construction workers become the catalyst in realizing the goals. Using mixed method approach in explanatory research, this study aimed to analyze the training needs based on 300 Indonesian construction workers’ competency. Findings showed that there are significant differences between knowledge and skills possessed by the Indonesian workers, based on two types of training; theory and practical. However, the training on skills is considered critical as it is a need for the Indonesian workers to fulfil the job requirements in Malaysia.

Abstract BackgroundDelivery of quality reproductive health services has been documented to depend on the availability of healthcare workers who are adequately supported with appropriate training. However, unmet training needs among healthcare workers in reproductive, maternal, and newborn health (RMNH) in low-income countries remain disproportionately high. This study investigated the effectiveness of trainings with onsite clinical mentorship towards perceived importance and performance in RMNH among healthcare workers in Mwanza Region of Tanzania.MethodsThe study used a quasi-experimental design using single group pre-and post-intervention evaluation strategy. The training needs of healthcare workers from the selected health facilities were assessed, skills gaps identified and ranked according to priority. Training courses that addressed skills gaps were developed and delivered with adaptations of the national guidelines followed by onsite clinical mentorship for one year. The baseline and endline survey were conducted at 3 years interval to assess change in HCWs on their perceived importance and performance on different aspects of RMNH care. Independent samples t-tests were used to compare differences in perceived performance in selected training areas between baseline and endline. Significance was set at p < 0.05.ResultsTNA was administered to 152 and 216 healthcare workers at baseline and endline respectively. In total, 141 (65%) of the 216 end line survey participants had received at least one IMPACT project training course and at least three mentorship visits. Participants were matched on their age and duration in RMNH services, but differed in age and duration of employment. Comparison between baseline and endline by using the training needs analysis questionnaire scores showed statistically significant positive changes (p ≤ .05) in most training needs analysis items, except for some items including those related to research capacity and provision of health education for cancer.ConclusionsThe findings revealed that the training and onsite clinical mentorship program that address the actual needs of healthcare workers to have significant positive changes in perceived performance in a wide range of RMNH services. However, further studies with rigorous designs are warranted to evaluate the long-term effect of such training programs on RMNH outcomes.
