Hey everyone,


I’ve been looking into training needs assessment and how companies like LSA Global use it to identify skill gaps before designing any training programs. The idea is to first understand what employees actually need, instead of just running generic training sessions.

From what I’ve read, a proper training needs assessment looks at job roles, performance gaps, and business goals to decide what skills should be developed. This helps organizations focus on the right areas like leadership, communication, or sales effectiveness rather than wasting time on irrelevant training.

What stood out to me is that companies using a structured approach can better align employee development with real business outcomes, leading to improved performance and productivity over time.

I’m curious—does your company actually do a proper training needs assessment before launching programs, or is training usually decided based on management preference or HR requirements? Would love to hear how it works in real workplaces
