Identifying the Influence of Training Policies on Employee Performance in the County Government of Nyandarua

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between training policies and the performance of employees in the County Government of Nyandarua. The study used a descriptive survey research design. The 66 county administrators at Nyandarua County Government were the survey's main target. The main tool for gathering data was a questionnaire. The metrics of central tendency and dispersion, the absolute and relative frequencies, and percentages of each were used in descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation, respectively. The data was shown using frequency tables and graphs for simple comparison. Training policies and employee performance showed a coefficient of regression ????1 = 0.319, p-value = 0.022< 0.05. This was clearly manifested in that training lowers staff turnover, absenteeism, dissatisfaction and discontent, as well as boosting morale and increasing productivity. This was shown by workers' ability to realise they all have an equal chance of succeeding; it is easier for them to give their all at work. In conclusion, through training, organisations can attain management development, boosting managerial capability, stimulating and helping retain competent managers and encouraging managers to pursue professional advancement. The study recommends that the county government should ensure they establish sound training policies so as to equip the employees with the adequate skill set and capacity to deliver quality services to the citizens.
