Description:
The study attempted to look at staff training on the control of strategic plan
implementation at MMC Headquarters. The study aimed at determining whether
training gaps are identified during annual reviews, the limitations that face staff at
MMC in identifying those training gaps and how the council addresses those
limitations and finally looked at staff reviews as a control mechanism for strategic plan
implementation.
The study applied a case study research design, and employed interviews,
questionnaire and documentary reviews in data collection. A sample size of 50
respondents was drawn from simple randomly and judgmental /purposefully selected
respondents.
Results show that, training needs are extracted out of staff performance evaluation
whereby training gaps are identified during staff reviews.
It was also, revealed that the majority of the respondents pointed out that the identified
training gapes during reviews are addressed by providing training to staff with skills
and knowledge gaps to improve their performance..
The limitations in identifying training gaps are addressed. Most of the respondents
agreed that the limitations in identifying training gaps are addressed by having regular
departmental meetings with staff, counseling staff on the proper training needs and
educating
The findings in the fourth objective, reflected that, most of the informants provided
that OPRAS helps staff to execute their tasks according to the set objective /goals,
It is recommended that the MMC to review some shortfalls on the whole process of
training, particularly on having its independent training budget, involve all staff in
training and of SP implementation, train all staff on the effective use OPRAS and the
SP be owned by all staff instead of top management team
