Cumbria Business Growth Hub recently launched a new service - a 2hrs training needs analysis carried out by one of our business adviser team.
By undertaking a TNA your business will come away with a clear, evidence-based understanding of what skills it already has, what skills it lacks and what training will actually deliver the most benefit and impact.
The main benefit is simple: you stop guessing and starting investing in the right people, the right skills, at the right time.
Other key benefits include:
- Improved performance – a TNA identifies the exact skills/knowledge gaps that are holding you and your employees back. Training identified through the TNA directly targets the root causes of underperformance rather than symptoms
- Better use of training budgets – avoid wasting money on the wrong training which delivers little return on investment. Every pound you spend on training will be tied to a measurable business need, improving ROI
- Stronger alignment with business goals – a TNA supports strategic priorities – whether that’s through improving customer service/experience, increasing leads/sales, driving marketing activity, improving leadership/management performance and effectiveness or increasing productivity
- Increased employee engagement – when training is tailored to their needs, employees feel more valued boosting motivation, morale and retention
- Reduced skills gaps – by clearly setting out current vs required skills businesses are able to plan ahead, especially important in the current economic climate
- Better compliance and reduced risk – a TNA highlights mandatory training ensuring compliance in areas such as health & safety, employment law, data protection helping to reduce legal and operational risks
- Improved succession planning – identify future leaders and skills they need to progress while strengthening internal talent pipelines
- Signposting to delivery that meets needs – working with the Chamber’s Head of Business Growth & Support to access training options through Cumbria Business Growth Hub as well as wider and relevant training providers
We’re offering TNAs to fill a provision gap, ensuring businesses and their employees receive the right training, at the right time and with the right provider.
