Background of the Study
Human capital development is a key driver of organizational success, as it focuses on enhancing the skills, knowledge, and capabilities of the workforce to improve business performance. This concept is rooted in the idea that employees are a crucial asset, and investment in their development leads to higher productivity, innovation, and competitiveness (Becker, 2023). For companies like Dangote Cement, one of the largest cement producers in Africa, human capital development is essential to maintaining market leadership and achieving sustainable growth.
In Kano State, Dangote Cement operates a large manufacturing plant that relies on a skilled and motivated workforce to meet production targets, ensure quality standards, and drive profitability. The company has invested heavily in human capital development programs, such as training, mentorship, and career development initiatives, to enhance employee skills and ensure alignment with the company’s strategic goals. However, despite these efforts, the full impact of human capital development on business performance remains unclear.
This study seeks to examine the relationship between human capital development and business performance at Dangote Cement in Kano State, exploring how investments in employee development translate into tangible outcomes for the company.
