Management development company KJ Associates has launched a new form of training needs analysis to help organisations determine exact training requirements for their managers and supervisors.
The Management Competencies assessment tool will save employers time and money providing training in areas that are not needed - or missing crucial areas that are desperately needed.
It’s a simple and time-effective way of analysing people’s training needs, involving an online questionnaire which is analysed and interpreted by KJ Associates.
Issues covered include vision, problem-solving, innovation, communication, time, people (recruitment, development and motivation) and financial awareness (budgets, control and accounting).
Katie Jones of KJ Associates said: “It’s a highly-effective tool to ensure training is very accurately provided - and in another form is excellent for recruiting or promoting managers.
“It provides solid information that will provide a benchmark from which to develop individuals and teams.”
Management Competencies Assessment also provides a framework to build an action plan, information for a training development plan and a sound understanding of not only individual's strengths and weaknesses but also areas of the business that require attention.
Assessments can be run over and over again providing the client with information on the return of their investment and how the manager has progressed.
