In a rapidly evolving banking environment characterized by digital transformation, regulatory reforms, and competitive pressures, effective training and development (T&D) practices are essential for enhancing employee competencies and organizational performance. The primary objectives of the study are: (1) to assess the level of employee satisfaction toward various training and development practices; (2) to identify key factors influencing satisfaction, including training design and content, delivery methods, managerial support, career development opportunities, and evaluation mechanisms; and (3) to examine whether gender differences exist in employee satisfaction levels. The study adopts a quantitative research design and uses statistical tools such as descriptive analysis and the Mann–Whitney U test. Findings indicate moderate to high satisfaction levels across most factors, with training design and evaluation mechanisms receiving relatively higher ratings, while career development opportunities scored comparatively lower. Gender-based differences were found to be statistically insignificant. The study concludes that strengthening career progression pathways and enhancing managerial involvement can further improve satisfaction levels.
