The study used a descriptive research design. The study used a sample of 133 respondents selected from a staff of 210 employees from the various departments to provide information on the effect of employee development on employee productivity at DFCU. Stratified simple random sampling was used to select the respondents to take part in the study. Descriptive analysis, correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis were employed to conduct analysis of data.
