Abstract
The quality of human resource is an asset to any organization and as a result training has become an issue that has to be faced by every organization. The amount, and quality of training carried out varies enormously from organization to organization due to factors such as the degree of external change, for instance, new markets or new processes, the adaptability of existing workforce and importantly the extent to which the organization supports the idea of internal career development. Most organizations meet their needs for training in an impromptu and haphazard way while others set about identifying their training needs, then design training activities in a rational manner and finally assess the results of training. This study, therefore, sought to determine the impact of training and development on employee performance in United Bank of Africa Plc. The study assessed the training and development process of United Bank of Africa Plc and whether training has improved employee performance. A questionnaire was designed using structured questions to collect primary data from employees of United Bank of Africa Plc.
