Background of the Study
Workplace policies on gender equality and inclusion are designed to ensure that all employees, regardless of gender, have equal opportunities for career advancement, fair compensation, and a work environment free from discrimination. Gender equality refers to the fair treatment of individuals regardless of their gender, while inclusion involves creating a work environment where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered. Nestlé Nigeria, a subsidiary of the global food and beverage company Nestlé, has implemented various workplace policies to promote gender equality and inclusion.
In Kebbi State, where Nestlé operates, the company faces challenges related to gender disparities in the workforce, particularly in leadership and decision-making roles. Despite Nestlé's commitment to diversity and inclusion, it is important to assess how these policies are being implemented and their actual impact on employees' experiences in the workplace. This study aims to evaluate Nestlé Nigeria’s workplace policies on gender equality and inclusion, focusing on the effectiveness of these policies in promoting a more inclusive and equitable work environment in Kebbi State.

This study seeks to assess how well these policies are implemented and whether they have resulted in tangible improvements in gender equality and inclusion at the workplace level.
