EMPLOYEE

This study examined The Impact of Employee Training and Development on Employee Performance. The survey research design was adopted for this study because data was collected from a sample population with specific characteristics. Four research questions were asked and answered during the study using simple percentage analysis. The population of the study covered the entire employees (both male and female) in selected organizations within the area of study. Out of this population, a total of 100 employees were selected as the sample using a random sampling technique. The instrument used to collect data for the study was a twenty-item self-structured questionnaire. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that training and development play a significant role in improving employee productivity, enhancing skills, boosting motivation, and supporting organizational growth. However, challenges such as inadequate training opportunities, mismatch between training content and job requirements, and lack of follow-up after training were identified as factors limiting its effectiveness. The study further revealed that employees perceive training and development as vital for career advancement, but its success depends largely on relevance, consistency, and alignment with organizational objectives. Consequently, the implication of this study to practice highlights the need for organizations to adopt well-structured training and development programs that focus on employee growth, fairness, and organizational competitiveness. The results also indicated that organizations that actively invest in training and development for their workforce tend to record higher levels of productivity, improved job satisfaction, and better employee retention. The study recommends that organizations should provide continuous training opportunities, ensure that training programs are tailored to employee and organizational needs, and evaluate the outcomes of training to measure effectiveness. In addition, managers should give constructive feedback and create supportive learning environments to enhance employee performance and overall organizational success.
