Enhancing Employee Performance Through Effective Training and Development Strategies: A Practical Approach

Abstract

This study examines the impact of training and development strategies on employee performance within the Jordanian healthcare sector. With the growing demands of healthcare services and the constant evolution of medical technologies, the performance of healthcare professionals has become a critical factor influencing organizational efficiency and patient outcomes. The research adopts a quantitative methodology, utilizing a structured questionnaire to collect responses from 235 healthcare employees across various job roles, institutions, and experience levels. The objective was to examine how well-designed training programs enhance competencies, improve work efficiency, and foster professional development. The study assessed variables such as the regularity, structure, content, and delivery of training, as well as post-training feedback and institutional support. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between effective training and employee performance, confirming the hypothesis that strategic learning interventions enhance motivation, skills, and productivity. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of continuous learning opportunities, qualified facilitators, and a conducive training environment in achieving optimal training outcomes. Challenges such as limited access to external training and inconsistent follow-up mechanisms were also identified. The study concludes by advocating for a comprehensive and sustained approach to training and development in the healthcare sector, emphasizing that investment in human capital through effective training strategies is essential for achieving long-term organizational success and improved healthcare delivery in Jordan.
