Descriptive analysis was employed as the research method, and primary data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 100 randomly selected workers. The findings indicate that overall training and development have a significant positive impact on employee performance. It helps the organization by reducing skill gaps, enhancing worker productivity, and contributing to improved financial outcomes. The study recommends the need for alignment between identified training needs and actual training implementation, as well as periodic revisions of the compensation structure.
