Background of the Study
Human resource management (HRM) strategies play a crucial role in the success and growth of manufacturing firms, which require effective workforce planning, recruitment, training, and retention practices to remain competitive. HRM in the manufacturing industry involves not only managing day-to-day operations but also developing strategic initiatives that contribute to organizational goals such as increased productivity, employee satisfaction, and long-term business sustainability (Mohammed & Bello, 2024). Dangote Cement, one of Nigeria’s largest manufacturing firms, has established various HRM strategies to ensure that its employees are well-trained, motivated, and aligned with the company’s objectives.
In Kano State, Dangote Cement operates extensive production facilities, employing a diverse workforce in different areas, from production to logistics and administration. The company has developed HRM practices that focus on talent acquisition, employee training and development, performance management, and fostering a positive work environment. These practices are designed to not only improve individual performance but also enhance overall organizational productivity and competitiveness in the cement manufacturing sector (Abdullah & Yusuf, 2023).
Despite the apparent benefits of these HRM strategies, there is limited empirical research on their effectiveness in driving employee performance and organizational success in the context of Dangote Cement in Kano State. This study seeks to assess the HRM strategies employed by Dangote Cement and their impact on the company’s performance, as well as on employee job satisfaction and retention.

This study aims to fill this gap by providing an assessment of HRM strategies in Dangote Cement.
