Abstract
This study investigates the impact of employee training and development practices on employee performance at Jay Jay Textile PLC. The primary objective was to assess the
current training practices within the company, including training needs assessment, program design, delivery methods, and evaluation practices, and to determine how these
practices influence employee performance. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining descriptive and explanatory research designs through surveys and semi
structured interviews. A sample of 219 employees was selected using simple random sampling from a target population of 8,689 staff members. Quantitative data were analyzed
using statistical methods in SPSS, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed moderate effectiveness in training needs assessment and
program design, with significant gaps identified in training evaluation practices. The regression analysis indicated a strong positive relationship between training practices and
employee performance, with training methods and program design having the most significant impact. The study also highlighted critical challenges, such as inadequate
follow-up support, lack of clear training objectives, and misalignment between training and job requirements. The study suggests that improving the training evaluation process, setting
SMART objectives, and addressing existing gaps would enhance the effectiveness of training and boost employee performance at Jay Jay Textile PLC.
