Conduct an Organizational Needs Assessment (ONA)
An organizational needs assessment (ONA) is a systematic study of employees’ learning needs, interests and priorities. The joint committee carries out an ONA to make informed decisions about the overall design of the program, course curriculum, and learning strategies. It raises the visibility of workplace learning, and helps the committee gain the support and confidence of the workforce.
CAMA’s A Guide for Planning and Conducting and Organizational Needs Assessment for Municipal Workplace Literacy Programs http://www.camacam.ca/mlrnguide/3-get-resources.asp takes you through the steps to prepare for the ONA including
- designing the strategy
- developing a communication plan
- conducting interviews and focus groups
- summarizing and analyzing the data
- writing the report
- presenting the results.
