The need for training arises to bridge the gap when the actual performance by employees is below what is expected. There are various ways of determining if the employees need additional training such as observation by managers, complaints from customers, employee interviews and training needs survey. The survey establishes areas that employees feel they need additional training so that they can be effective in fulfilling their duties. By conducting an employee training survey, the company ensures that the training provided is in areas that employees feel they need it and to the right individuals.
An employee training needs survey contains questions in multiple choice or open-ended, that employees answer. The feedback helps to know the kind of training required and by which employees.
