Background of the Study
Workplace discrimination remains a significant issue across many organizations, and it can manifest in various forms, including gender, race, ethnicity, age, and disability discrimination. Discriminatory practices in the workplace not only violate ethical and legal standards but also undermine employee morale, productivity, and organizational culture (Olufemi & Ojo, 2024). Human resource (HR) policies play a crucial role in preventing and addressing workplace discrimination by establishing guidelines for equitable treatment, fostering diversity and inclusion, and providing mechanisms for employees to report and address grievances (Bello, 2023).
United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc is a leading financial institution in Nigeria, with numerous branches across Adamawa State. As a large organization, UBA has a responsibility to create a fair and inclusive workplace where all employees are treated with respect and dignity. The effectiveness of UBA's HR policies in preventing workplace discrimination, promoting equality, and ensuring compliance with anti-discrimination laws remains a critical area for exploration.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of UBA Plc's HR policies in preventing workplace discrimination and their impact on employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall organizational performance in Adamawa State.
