Organization Analysis.
HR personnel typically collect data such as information on the quality of goods or services they provide, absenteeism, turnover, and number of accidents to determine what type of training needed.
Task Analysis
- The second step is to list the steps performed by the employee to complete each task. The type of each task along with the skills and knowledge necessary to do it, can be identified.
Person Analysis
- This step helps organizations avoid the mistake of sending all employee into training when some do not need it.
