Description
This project attempted to identify the effects of computer literacy on the job performance of modern secretaries and to find out if secretaries without computer knowledge can be conveniently employed in a modern office.
The researcher used all the secretaries and some administrative staffs in Kisii Government Secretariat which is 75 staffs as the population of the study. However, because of the smallest of the population size, the researcher used the entire population of secretariat for the study. The instrument used for data collection was a 20-item structured questionnaire called ECLOSEC (effects of computer literacy on secretaries) which was prepared by the researcher.
The researcher in order to get the needed result distributed questionnaire to some staff of the CountyGovernment secretariat which was the area of study of this project, and their responses were converted. The researcher was able to found out that there are some effects of computer literacy on modern secretaries which are speed and accuracy, neatness, easy edition, formatting and saving of documents. Also that secretary without computer knowledge cannot be employed in a modern office.
Furthermore, the researcher agreed that the major problem of secretaries is the fear that computer has come to replace them because they know fully well that without computer knowledge they would not be able to do their work perfectly in a modern office. The researcher noticed that students are not taught word processing as a serious course and this has contributed to their failure in performing their job.
It was as a result of these findings, the researcher suggested that every secretary should try hard to become computer literate by going for the training so as to secure gainful employment in a modern office.

effects of compensation and benefit package on employees’ turnover and job satisfaction at Equity Bank, Nairobi , Kenya- hrm research project
The purpose of this research was to assess the effects of compensation and benefit package on employees’ turnover and job satisfaction at Equity Bank, Nairobi , Kenya . To achieve this objective, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 91 employees who were selected using simple random sampling technique. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from employees of Equity Bank working in the Head office. Once the data were collected, they were coded, edited, and analyzed. The major findings indicated that in Equity Bank there are different compensation packages such as salary, transport allowance, hardship allowance, telephone allowance, etc. The bank is good at providing annual leave. However, it is weak in the following benefit packages: providing food and beverage to its employee, establishing employee clubs and implementing weak talent management practices, this means the existence of ineffective, redundant and not carrier related training practices. On the other hand, there are different other major problems. Employees do not participate in compensation and benefit decision-making process. Additionally, poor work environment and work culture prevail at the bank. These all may decrease job satisfaction and increase staff turnover. It can then be concluded that most of the respondents were not satisfied with the existing compensation and benefit packages because of the aforementioned reasons. Finally, the all findings lead to the thought that Equity Bank S.C. has to review its current compensation and benefit package in order to retain employees for long period of time (decrease turnover) and increase their job satisfaction.
