This study's main goal is to investigate how training affects employee performance in the context of the Rokan Hulu Regency Regional General Hospital (RSUD), with work experience serving as a mediating variable in this relationship. The study applies a quantitative approach using a survey method to obtain relevant data from the research participants. A census sampling technique was employed, involving all 75 employees as the research sample so that the entire population could be represented in the analysis. The collected data were processed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with the assistance of the SmartPLS software program. The results indicate that training has a positive role in improving employee performance. In addition to its direct effect, training also contributes to employee performance through an indirect mechanism in which work experience functions as a mediating variable. These findings support the conclusion that the effectiveness of training in improving employee performance can be strengthened when employees possess and continuously accumulate adequate work experience. Therefore, training and work experience should be considered complementary factors in efforts to enhance employee performance at the Rokan Hulu Regency Regional General Hospital.
