A stratified random sampling was used to determine the sample size of the 18 respondents. The researcher performed Pearson's correlation and a regression test so as to determine the relationship between the variables under analysis. The data was analyzed with the use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, 25th version. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze quantitative data. Frequencies and percentages were employed to provide descriptive statistics. The findings were presented in tabular form. The outcome or other the results of the study helped in revealing whether the variables in the study statistically or positively correlated with organizational productivity. The study therefore recommends the banking sector to come up with suitable employee training practices that help in enhancing organizational productivity.

Another similar study can be conducted aiming at the public sector for comparison purposes.
