Background of the Study
Human Resource (HR) policies are central to organizational operations, as they dictate how employees are recruited, managed, and retained. In the banking sector, where competition for skilled labor is high, effective HR policies are essential for reducing employee turnover and ensuring a stable workforce. Zenith Bank Plc, one of Nigeria's leading banks, operates in a highly competitive industry, and its success depends heavily on retaining talented and committed employees.
Employee turnover remains a critical issue for organizations, including Zenith Bank, especially in regions like Sokoto State, where the availability of skilled workers is limited. High turnover can result in increased recruitment and training costs, disruptions in service delivery, and loss of institutional knowledge, all of which can negatively impact organizational performance. Therefore, investigating the influence of HR policies on employee turnover is crucial to understanding the underlying factors that contribute to high or low turnover rates.
Research has shown that HR policies, particularly those related to compensation, career development, employee engagement, and work-life balance, have a significant impact on turnover intentions (Musa & Salim, 2023). However, while various studies have examined turnover in the banking sector, there is a gap in understanding how specific HR policies at Zenith Bank Plc influence employee turnover, particularly in Sokoto State. This study aims to fill this gap by critically assessing the HR policies implemented at Zenith Bank and their impact on employee turnover in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Zenith Bank has experienced concerns related to employee turnover in Sokoto State, with several employees citing dissatisfaction with certain HR policies, including compensation, career advancement opportunities, and job satisfaction. The bank's efforts to reduce turnover may be hindered by ineffective HR policies or a lack of alignment between employee needs and organizational practices. This study seeks to investigate how Zenith Bank's HR policies influence employee turnover and identify areas where these policies can be improved to retain staff.
