Thus, this study focused on Business Process Reengineering and Economic Sustainability of Brewing Firms in South-East Nigeria. Specifically, the study sought to ascertain the relationship between employee training and the work efficiency of brewing firms in South-East Nigeria. The study was anchored on Kurt Lewin's Change Management Theory (1947). A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The study population was 1222, with a sample size of 301 using the Taro Yamane formula, while the questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and Person's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was employed in testing the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed a significant positive relationship between employee training and work efficiency of brewing firms in South-East, Nigeria with a p-value of 0.009 and a correlation value of 0.963. The study concluded that improving employees' training practices will enhance work efficiency and boost the economic sustainability of brewing firms in South-East, Nigeria.
