Training need identification is the process of identifying problems in an organization that can be addressed through training and development programs. It involves defining the problem areas, collecting data on training needs, analyzing the data, providing feedback to management, and developing an action plan. The goal is to determine what specific training each employee requires to improve job performance and productivity, and whether training is needed or if issues stem from other organizational factors. This process helps organizations determine the appropriate content, scope, and desired outcomes of training and development programs.
