TNA that comply with best practices

(Our TNA approach as described further down is in line with the best practices adopted by HRDF Malaysia)



A PERFORMANCE BASED APPROACH a suggested practice by the Malaysian HRDF.
  1. Identify critical performance gaps based on financial statement analysis through benchmarking internally and externally.
  2. Incorporate new strategies and best practices adopted by management for the coming periods.
  3. Identify the critical groups or persons that require performance improvement and competency profiling.
  4. Identify competency gaps that requires training solutions.
  5. Identify the expected training benefits and justify training through the ROI.

How to identify performance gaps through financial analysis and benchmarkings.
  1. ROE Du Pont Chart
  2. Functional Key Performance Indicators
  3. Process Indicators
  4. Input efficiency indicators
How to identify competency gaps among the critical group or persons lacking in performance above.
  1. Job Analysis  -  objectives / goals
  2. Duty analysis -  key result areas /  job descriptions
  3. Task Analysis -  key activity / job specifications
Use the BSC perspective to identify learning and growth on the performance objectives.

Measure their knowledge, skills and attitude through observation and interviews with the job holders and their bosses and peers.

The competency gap analysis is confined only to the critical non-performers.

The ROI is computed by dividing the expected training benefits by it's costs.

The training gains and benefits is derived by performance after training less performance before training.

The input output graphic presentation illustrates the net benefits in training.

ROI training Formula


What is ROI?
  1. ROI or return on investment is a measure justifying all kind of investments.
  2. ROI is a ratio dividing profit with investment.
Training investments definition
  • All costs involved to improve the competencies of the staff.
Training income / impact definition
  • All improvement recorded after the training interventions, performance after training less before training.
  • Identify the key performance indicator to measure results of training
  • Compute the before and after KPI ratios
  • Use input output graph to measure the impact of competency improvement.
EXAMPLE - calculating the ROI.
Before training performance -   RM3,000 sales profit 
After training performance -     RM 5,000 sales profit
One year impact RM2,000 x 12  =  RM24,000
If training costs is   RM20,000, profit is RM4,000 divided by RM20,000
ROI is 20% per annum  

Difficulty in evaluating training
  1. Unlike other investments, the impact and outcome in training is continuous and infinity.  The impact on staff training could be long and timeless.
  2. Measuring precise training costs and investment is almost impossible.
  3. Classroom training costs are easier to account but on the job training and coaching is difficult to value and demarcate.
