Background of the Study
Employee turnover is a significant issue that affects organizational stability, productivity, and financial performance. High turnover rates can lead to increased recruitment costs, reduced employee morale, and a loss of institutional knowledge. Lafarge Africa Plc, a leading player in the Nigerian cement manufacturing industry, operates in Adamawa State, where the socio-economic conditions are unique, and businesses face challenges such as infrastructural gaps and talent shortages. The company has made significant investments in human resources to build a competitive workforce, yet it continues to grapple with employee turnover, which poses a risk to its growth and operational efficiency.
The causes of employee turnover are multifaceted, ranging from poor job satisfaction, lack of career growth, inadequate compensation, to external factors such as local economic conditions and job market competition. In Lafarge Africa Plc, turnover could be influenced by factors such as the nature of the industry, working conditions, and employee engagement initiatives. While many studies have focused on turnover in other sectors, there remains a gap in understanding the specific factors contributing to turnover in Lafarge Africa’s Adamawa State operations. This study aims to identify the primary causes of employee turnover and to assess how these factors impact the company’s ability to maintain a stable and skilled workforce.
