It involves 9 closed-ended questions that are classified into 3 sections to measure participants’ perceptions regarding the usage of webinars for training. Descriptive Statistics and correlation examination are used for analyzing the data. The findings indicate that webinars are effective training tools for advancing employee performance. Significantly, even though the data comes from a single case study, which could impact how broadly the results can be applied the research introduces a perspective for further investigation, in this field to confirm the outcomes in comparable case organizations. The study provides insights via the quantitative findings into the importance of webinars in advancing employee performance within the case institution. The study adds valuable insights to the existing knowledge regarding employee training and development.
