Background of the Study
Effective customer service is paramount in the competitive banking sector, and robust training programs are essential for ensuring high-quality service delivery. Sterling Bank has implemented comprehensive customer service training initiatives aimed at enhancing employees’ skills in communication, problem-solving, and the use of digital tools (Afolabi, 2023). These programs are designed to improve the overall customer experience by ensuring that staff can handle inquiries, resolve issues promptly, and provide personalized solutions. The training integrates traditional classroom methods with e-learning modules and virtual simulations, allowing employees to engage in continuous professional development (Ibrahim, 2023). By focusing on both technical and soft skills, Sterling Bank’s training programs aim to bridge the gap between technological advancements and customer expectations, thereby boosting service quality and fostering customer loyalty (Chinwe, 2024). However, challenges persist in ensuring that training is uniformly effective across all branches, with variations in implementation and employee engagement often resulting in inconsistent service delivery. This study will appraise the impact of Sterling Bank’s customer service training programs on service delivery by analyzing performance metrics, customer satisfaction surveys, and feedback from frontline staff. The goal is to determine the effectiveness of these training initiatives and to identify areas where further improvements can enhance overall service quality.
Statement of the Problem
Despite robust investment in customer service training programs, Sterling Bank continues to experience inconsistencies in service delivery across its branches. Some customers report satisfactory interactions, while others experience delays and inadequate problem resolution (Afolabi, 2023). Variability in training implementation, coupled with differences in employee engagement and the pace of technological change, has resulted in a fragmented customer service experience (Ibrahim, 2023). Additionally, the lack of a standardized framework for evaluating training effectiveness makes it difficult for management to pinpoint areas needing improvement. These issues not only affect customer satisfaction but also increase employee turnover and operational costs. The inability to consistently deliver high-quality service undermines the bank’s competitive advantage in the market. This study seeks to investigate the link between customer service training programs and service delivery performance, identifying the specific operational challenges that impede uniform service quality. The research will provide actionable recommendations to enhance training effectiveness and ensure a consistent, high-quality customer service experience across all branches (Chinwe, 2024).
