Background of the Study
Customer service is a critical component of competitive banking, and effective training programs are essential for ensuring high-quality service delivery. Sterling Bank has invested in comprehensive customer service training programs to enhance employee skills, improve customer interactions, and ultimately boost service delivery across all channels (Adeleke, 2023). These programs include a mix of in-person workshops, online modules, and on-the-job training aimed at developing communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and a customer-centric mindset. Enhanced service training is expected to lead to higher customer satisfaction, increased loyalty, and a stronger brand reputation. Research has shown that well-trained staff contribute significantly to operational efficiency and customer retention in the banking sector (Ike, 2024).
The bank’s initiatives also focus on continuous improvement by regularly updating training content to reflect emerging trends in customer expectations and technological innovations. Despite these efforts, variations in training effectiveness and inconsistent application across branches have been observed. This study aims to appraise the impact of Sterling Bank’s customer service training programs on overall service delivery by analyzing employee performance data, customer feedback, and operational metrics. The objective is to identify best practices and areas requiring further development to ensure that training investments yield tangible improvements in service quality.
Statement of the Problem
Although Sterling Bank has implemented extensive customer service training programs, the bank still experiences inconsistencies in service delivery that affect customer satisfaction. One key issue is the uneven implementation of training across different branches, where some employees receive more comprehensive support than others (Emeka, 2023). This variability can lead to disparities in customer experiences and ultimately harm the bank’s reputation. Additionally, rapid technological advancements and evolving customer expectations require continuous updates to training materials, which can strain resources and create gaps in skill development. Furthermore, a lack of standardized performance metrics to measure the impact of training on service delivery makes it difficult to assess the return on investment. This study seeks to determine whether current training programs are sufficient to achieve uniform service excellence and to identify the factors that limit their effectiveness.
