It has been given a lot of importance, impetus and accolade in performance management. Despite the increasing effects on training of organisational employees, there is still limited effort which has become an issue by management and the Human Resource Department of Cocoa Marketing Company. The study sought to determine the impact of training and development on employee performance. The study adopted quantitative approach where simple random sampling technique was used to select fifty-seven (57) employees in the various units in the Cocoa Marketing Company in Kumasi. The data were collected mainly through the use of self-administered questionnaire. The responses were processed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 for easy analysis and interpretation of the field data. The study found that some of the training and development methods used by the Cocoa Marketing Company were seminar presentations, demonstrations, and discussions.
