Methodology: A descriptive survey design was employed to gather primary data from 520 employees across major districts including Ludhiana, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, and Mohali. The sample comprised employees from leading private banks such as HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak Mahindra, and IndusInd Bank. A structured questionnaire using a Likert scale was used to measure employee perceptions regarding career growth opportunities, training, promotion policies, recognition, and career clarity. Findings: The study reveals that career growth strategies, particularly structured promotion policies, training and development programs, recognition, and clear career paths, significantly enhance employee job satisfaction. However, some employees expressed neutral perceptions regarding fairness and alignment of opportunities with personal aspirations. Conclusion: Effective implementation of career growth strategies fosters higher satisfaction, motivation, and long-term commitment among banking professionals.
