Why your next training shouldn't come from assumptions

Employees already know what’s missing — this template helps you hear it clearly.

It captures learning needs from real conversations and feedback, not survey checkboxes.

Definition: Training needs are gaps in knowledge, capability, or confidence that impact performance or engagement — surfaced through natural language feedback.
