Background of the study
Employee training is a critical component in the development of a workforce that can contribute effectively to the growth of a retail business (Ajayi & Adeyemi, 2024). In the retail industry, particularly supermarkets, employees are often the primary point of contact between the business and the customer. Well-trained employees can enhance the shopping experience by providing better customer service, product knowledge, and promoting sales (Olufemi & Ibrahim, 2025). In Plateau State, supermarkets are key players in the retail sector, and their success is often dependent on the quality of service and the skill set of their employees.
Training programs that focus on product knowledge, customer engagement, and sales techniques have been shown to directly influence sales performance (Adeleke et al., 2024). However, despite the growing recognition of employee training’s importance, the direct link between training initiatives and retail sales growth remains underexplored in the context of Plateau State supermarkets. This study seeks to investigate how employee training affects sales growth and overall business performance in supermarkets in Plateau State.
Statement of the problem
Supermarkets in Plateau State continue to experience challenges in achieving consistent sales growth and customer satisfaction. One possible factor is the inadequacy of employee training programs, which may not align with the strategic needs of these businesses. While some supermarkets invest in training programs, the impact of these initiatives on retail sales growth and overall performance remains unclear. This study seeks to determine the relationship between employee training and sales growth in supermarkets within Plateau State.
