Many organizations today are going through some structural operational and business strategic changes in order to improve their performance. Employers have implemented human resource policies and practices to improve employee performance. Although the above has been taken into consideration in many organizations, employee performance has remained low. This study assessed effects of Human Resource Strategies on Performance at Taita Taveta University with a view to establishing how employee performance could be affected by the Human Resource Strategies. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of Creativity and Quality of Product and their effect on employee performance. The study employed Descriptive Research Design and a Census method. Data from 185 respondents was collected by use of questionnaires and face to face interviews. Analysis of the collected data was done with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).

The results point to a significant association between employee performance and human resource strategies. Employee performance was found to be significantly influenced also by creativity, and employees were found to benefit from an innovative workplace culture.
