Abstract
The study introduces HCD Practices as the main alternative for interventions that improve the efficacy of
individuals working in the Ghanaian Banking Industry. HCD Practices are lasting practices such as training and
continuous education designed to improve the competencies and skill set of employees to enable them perform tasks
required of them. The study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative approach. A sample of (155) respondents
from eight private owned banks in Ghana constituted the sample size unit for the study. Stratified sampling procedure
was used to reach the participants in their workplace for data collection and analysis. Three factors were deduced from
the study. Results of the study identified significant difference in the challenges associated with using intervention
amongst the selected Private Banks in Ghana. In the light of this Private Banks should provide career planning and
training opportunities for their staff as effective employees will result in effective groups and intergroup which could
eventually lead to total organizational effectiveness necessary for sustainable growth.
