The HR Division today is required to maintain a delicate balance
of line management expectations, market pressures and corporate
guidelines. This challenge becomes even more difficult when the
compensation trends continue to witness fundamental changes. The
most effective means of solving these issues comes from robust and
reliable market data collection, and the opportunity to learn from
other companies that frequently face these issues. About 55 companies
from different sectors took part in this successful event. The forum
covered a discussion on country specific compensation issues, as
well as a more detailed look at some of the topics that have been
affecting HR over the last 12 months. It also covered sector specific

Training Needs Assessment (TNA) is one
of those subjects that makes a Human Resource Professional wince….there
is a general feeling that it is important and should be an intrinsic
part of any training strategy….but what exactly does it mean?
Is it really
a practical concept and of any real relevance outside the
textbooks? Or is it a necessary but less than useful exercise
conducted by HR departments?
What is the objective of this exercise? Can it be carried
out using different approaches? What are the different approaches
that may be employed?
In case you share some of the above mentioned concerns, our
workshop on ‘How to Conduct a TNA’ would be beneficial
for you and your organization. |
 |
What is it all about?
In this one-day workshop you will
be provided an overview of the concept behind conducting TNA in
organizations. You will also be introduced to the different approaches

factors that contribute to shaping a TNA strategy. The key link

applying actual TNA tools wherever possible.
