Background of the Study
Grievance handling refers to the processes organizations use to address employee complaints or disputes. It is an essential aspect of industrial relations, particularly in large organizations like Dangote Flour Mills, where employee satisfaction and engagement are crucial to maintaining productivity and morale. Effective grievance handling mechanisms not only resolve conflicts but also prevent the escalation of disputes, thereby promoting a positive work environment. In Nigeria, the manufacturing sector, including Dangote Flour Mills, plays a significant role in the economy, contributing to job creation, economic development, and industrial growth (Olawale & Ibrahim, 2023). Therefore, the ability to handle grievances effectively is crucial to the success of such firms.
Dangote Flour Mills, located in Kaduna State, is a major player in the Nigerian food processing industry. The company's large workforce and diverse operations expose it to various employee grievances, which, if not properly addressed, could negatively impact productivity, employee retention, and organizational reputation. The study aims to evaluate the grievance handling mechanisms in place at Dangote Flour Mills, Kaduna State, and assess their effectiveness in resolving conflicts and fostering a harmonious working environment. Given the significance of employee relations in the manufacturing sector, understanding how Dangote Flour Mills handles grievances will provide valuable insights into improving its HR management practices and overall organizational performance.
