This paper will examine the effect of training and development strategies on the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Due to increased competition and globalisation recently there has been a lot of emphasis on the link between strategy and firm performance. This study sought to investigate the effect of training and development strategies on the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study was a survey that adopted the mixed method approach using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The Nairobi head office of each of the 46 commercial banks was purposively sampled. A sample of 349 employees was selected using stratified random sampling from 2,738 employees in the 46 commercial banks. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis involved statistical computations for averages, percentages, and correlation and regression analysis as well as factor analysis. Reliability analysis was done using Cronbach’s alpha. Statistical computer software (SPSS) was used in data analysis. Analyzed data was presented using tables, charts and graphs. From the study it was found that a training and development strategy has a significant positive effect on the performance of commercial banks in Kenya. Commercial banks in Kenya were found to be engaging in training and development of their employees and have training budgets for the purpose. Commercial banks also do training needs analysis as the main determinant of the training that is required for the employees. From this study it is concluded that employee training and development strategies positively affect the performance of commercial banks to a great extent.
