Background of the Study
Workforce diversity and inclusion (D&I) have become key areas of focus for organizations striving to build competitive and sustainable workforces (Michell & Turner, 2023). Workforce diversity refers to the presence of employees from various backgrounds, including but not limited to race, gender, ethnicity, age, and physical abilities. Inclusion, on the other hand, refers to creating an environment where diverse employees are valued, respected, and given equal opportunities to contribute and thrive.
Nestlé Nigeria, a subsidiary of the global food and beverage leader, operates in a competitive industry where innovation, employee engagement, and adaptability are essential for organizational success. The company has made substantial efforts to embrace diversity and inclusion strategies, aiming to reflect the diversity of its customer base and enhance team collaboration. However, while Nestlé Nigeria has been proactive in promoting diversity and inclusion, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies and their impact on organizational outcomes in Plateau State, where the company maintains operational facilities.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing importance of workforce diversity and inclusion in fostering a positive workplace culture, the effectiveness of Nestlé Nigeria’s diversity and inclusion strategies in Plateau State has not been comprehensively evaluated. This study aims to assess the impact of these strategies on employee collaboration, innovation, and organizational success within the context of Nestlé Nigeria.

1. To evaluate the effectiveness of diversity and inclusion strategies at Nestlé Nigeria in Plateau State.
2. To assess the impact of workforce diversity and inclusion on employee collaboration and innovation at Nestlé Nigeria.
3. To explore the relationship between workforce diversity and organizational performance at Nestlé Nigeria.

3. How does workforce diversity contribute to organizational performance at Nestlé Nigeria?
Research Hypotheses

2. There is a significant relationship between workforce diversity and organizational performance at Nestlé Nigeria.
3. Effective diversity and inclusion strategies improve employee satisfaction and retention in Nestlé Nigeria.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on Nestlé Nigeria’s operations in Plateau State and examine the effectiveness of its diversity and inclusion strategies. The research will include employees from various departments to assess the overall impact of diversity and inclusion. A limitation of the study is the potential bias in employees' self-reported experiences, as some employees may be hesitant to share critical feedback about diversity and inclusion practices.
