Introduction
When an organization does a needs assessment what they are trying to do is understand what programs that they can use to fix internal problems. Hopefully, after a need of assessment is
done and an analysis it will show what areas needs training and how it can benefit if training is done. If an organization is serious about doing what is right for the cooperation and the community it will offer the best training if that is to come from with-in or from outside help. A Needs Assessments Analysis can be determined once they do a organizational survey is conducted. For the course project this week I will be focusing on the analysis of safety, and the organization. For the organizational survey it will be showing how important teamwork is important to the company.

According to the Pulse Surveys that were conducted quarterly they can see that employees are happy with working at General Mills. They believe the employees are overall supported by management and feel connected with the people that work around each other. Nevertheless, General Mills employees feel that some procedures for training are lacking. More training is required globally so that every company and its employees has the same privileges and opportunity for growth. The company understands this and knows they have room for improvement. They will continue to work so that every relevant voices and perspectives are heard. General Mills have been established since 1928 and they continue to have a low turnover rate because people like working with the company.

During the survey
they found out that as a company they still need to improve on training. The company deemed a lack of assets were being properly used to fund over 30 different districts in for training. This needs assessment will help define whether the process for training is being used

An interview should be done with a manager and a few employees to show everyone that their opinion matters. The questions:
1.
What would you like to learn to make your job easier or better? What are the programs, processes, or resources available for you to learn from?
How have you developed the skills that you have? 2.
Who brings problems to you and what kind of problems are they? How do you usually solve them? Who do you ask for help?
Finding out what employees need training on should help to see what can be done or possibly if more funds can be divided to a certain area. So, what needs to happen is make sure that training is conducted the same so each department of General Mills will benefit. Conclusion
This needs assessment will be helpful to so that it will give information to expand the training programs in place to make them better. However, better schedules and proper exchange of information between managers and their employees could also be the key because everyone needs improvement in some area.
