Background of the Study
Human Resource (HR) policies are designed to manage an organization’s workforce effectively. These policies play a significant role in shaping the work environment, influencing employee well-being, job satisfaction, and overall organizational success. First Bank Nigeria Plc, one of the leading financial institutions in Nigeria, has developed a range of HR policies aimed at improving employee well-being. These policies include health and safety guidelines, work-life balance initiatives, compensation and benefits packages, and career development opportunities.

A motivated, engaged, and healthy workforce is essential for the success of the bank, as satisfied employees are more likely to be productive and contribute positively to organizational goals.
