Background of the Study
Employee training and development (T&D) are fundamental to enhancing workforce efficiency, skill acquisition, and overall organizational productivity. Companies that invest in training programs often experience improved employee performance, job satisfaction, and operational efficiency (Obiora & Ekong, 2024). United Bank for Africa (UBA), one of Nigeria’s largest financial institutions, recognizes the importance of continuous employee development to remain competitive in the banking sector.
In Plateau State, UBA faces operational challenges, including evolving financial regulations, technological advancements, and customer service expectations. Adequate training programs can equip employees with the necessary skills to adapt to these challenges, but the actual impact of these initiatives on productivity remains unclear. This study seeks to analyze how training and development influence employee performance and organizational efficiency at UBA.
Statement of the Problem

Employees may receive training but fail to apply new skills due to workplace constraints, lack of motivation, or poor implementation strategies (Ajayi, 2023). In UBA, Plateau State, assessing the link between training programs and overall productivity is crucial for enhancing organizational performance.

- Ineffective training implementation negatively affects productivity.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
