Background of the Study
Human resource planning (HRP) is the process of forecasting and managing an organization's workforce needs to achieve its strategic goals. Effective HRP ensures that organizations have the right talent at the right time, contributing to business sustainability in competitive markets (Boxall & Purcell, 2023). Globally, organizations that prioritize HRP report higher employee retention, operational efficiency, and long-term growth.
In Nigeria, the financial sector faces challenges such as high turnover rates, skill gaps, and rapidly changing market demands. First Bank, one of the country’s largest and oldest financial institutions, operates in Kano State, a commercial hub in northern Nigeria. For First Bank, HRP is essential to address these challenges and sustain its operations in the dynamic financial sector (Akinola & Musa, 2024).
This study explores the role of HRP in achieving business sustainability, focusing on First Bank’s operations in Kano State.
Statement of the Problem
Many organizations in Nigeria, including First Bank, face challenges in implementing effective HRP strategies. Issues such as inadequate workforce forecasting, misalignment between HR and business strategies, and limited training programs hinder the bank’s ability to maintain a sustainable workforce (Okonkwo, 2024).
In Kano State, where economic activities are highly competitive, the lack of robust HRP practices poses significant risks to First Bank’s business sustainability. This study investigates the role of HRP in addressing these challenges and ensuring long-term success.
