Empowering the Workforce : A Comprehensive Evaluation of Training and Development Practices at State Bank of India, Udham Singh Nagar

Authors(2) :-Mr. Yeshvin Singh, Sushant Piplani

This study delves into the training and development framework of the State Bank of India (SBI), focusing on the Udham Singh Nagar branch in Uttarakhand. In the context of a rapidly evolving banking landscape driven by digitalization, regulatory changes, and heightened customer expectations, employee upskilling and development have emerged as strategic imperatives. This paper systematically examines the adequacy, effectiveness, and alignment of SBI’s training initiatives with employee roles and organizational goals. A structured questionnaire was administered among 165 SBI employees to evaluate perceptions regarding training adequacy, delivery methods, development outcomes, reward linkage, and HR involvement. Findings reveal a generally positive outlook on the institution’s learning ecosystem, with specific areas identified for enhancement, including greater focus on safety training, anti-harassment programs, and improved alignment of training outcomes with promotion policies. The research concludes by offering practical recommendations to refine SBI’s training framework, ensuring it remains agile, inclusive, and impactful in a competitive banking environment.
