Training Needs Analysis (TNA).
Finally, you will use feedback to monitor and improve learning effectiveness.

Origin HR Online Learning System.(Relevant pages are 933 and 934. Check out the example on page 936)
Task 2 – Learning Plan

the TNA. You may use the learning plan format implemented in your workplace
or the form available from the Origin HR Online Learning System.(See page 953)
