Naguddi Gloria, Kabanda Richard


Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between employee training programs and organizational efficiency at BIDCO Uganda Limited, a leading manufacturer of edible oils and consumer goods. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, surveying 200 employees across various departments and conducting in-depth interviews with 15 managers and human resource personnel. Results demonstrated a significant positive correlation (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) between training participation and organizational efficiency indicators. Statistical analysis revealed that 81% of employees who participated in comprehensive training programs demonstrated superior performance compared to 34% of minimally trained employees. Regression analysis indicated that training programs explained 55% of the variance in organizational efficiency (R² = 0.55). Organizations with systematic training interventions showed 68% higher productivity rates, 47% reduction in operational errors, 52% improvement in product quality, and 43% increase in employee retention rates. The study concluded that employee training programs significantly enhanced organizational efficiency through improved employee competencies, reduced waste and errors, enhanced innovation capacity, strengthened employee motivation, and better alignment of workforce capabilities with organizational objectives. Recommendations included establishing comprehensive training needs assessment systems, implementing continuous learning frameworks, investing in modern training infrastructure and technologies, developing career development pathways linked to training, strengthening training impact evaluation mechanisms, and fostering organizational learning cultures that valued continuous skill development.
