IN NIGERIA
GROUP 1 PROJECT
INTRODUCTION

 Comparative human resource practices in Nigeria highlights the examination of HRM practices in the
country and how they compare to global standards. It sets the context for understanding the key
aspects of HRM in Nigeria and acknowledges the evolving nature of these practices which include
diverse workforce, legal framework, recruitment and selection, training and development,
performance management, compensation and benefits, employee relations, work-life balance, and
talent management. Comparative analysis of HRM practices in Nigeria recognizes the importance of
aligning HRM practices with international standards and  continuous improvement efforts in Nigeria's
HRM landscape.
HRM practices in NIgeria are
influenced by various factors such as:
 Recruitment and selection
 Training and development
 Performance Management
 Employee representatives
 Compensation and benefits
 Employee Relations
 Legal compliance
 Talent Mangement
 Ethical Standards
RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION

 This is the most important component in HRM, because it contributes


to the overall performance and success of an organization. It involves
several processes like Job Analysis(creating a job description and
specification),Sourcing Candidates(through referrals, job boards,
social media,recruitment agencies),Screening and
Shortlisting(reviewing of resumes and candidates who meets job
specifications are shortlisted), Selection(interviews, behavioral
assessment and work samples). In Nigeria, recruitment is selectively
done and determined by managerial decisions and socio-political
connections (Fajana, Owoyemi, Elegbede & Gbajumo-Sheriff 2011;
Fashoyin, 2010)
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

 Most organizations invest in the growth and skills of their employees


in order to build competency and adaptable workforce to achieve
long-term success. Training methods such as e-Learning,on-the-job
training and workshops are adopted.The training programs are tailored
to fill specific skill gap and align it with organizational goals.It also
focus on employee development such as Mentorship Programs, Talent
Development Programs, etc. According to (Fajana,et al.,2011) it is a bit
slow and very expensive to invest in human capital in Nigeria.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

 They are commonly used in Nigeria to evaluate employee performance


and feedbacks. It helps in identifying employees’ strength and
weaknesses and setting performance targets
 However, performance appraisal can be subjective and influenced by
personal relationships and bias
 In Nigeria, a dialogue process is used in performance management.
Also Nigeria make use of the 360 appraisal method
EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE

 Protecting rights
 Collective Bargaining
 Industrial actions for examples, strikes
 Employee Consultations
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

 HRM practices in Nigeria focus on providing competitive


compensation and benefits to attract and retain talent. They include
allowances, bonuses and other incentives. They also provide benefits
such as health insurance, retirement plan and leave entitlements. In
Nigeria the minimum wage is fixed by government
 Also wage structure is linked to specific jobs and employees are paid
according to their performances
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

 Creating a conducive work environment


 Fostering effective communication mediums
 Attending to employee concerns and complaints
 Promoting employee engagement
 Ensuring fair treatment of employees
LEGAL COMPLIANCE

 Minimum wage laws


 Working hour regulations
 Health and safety standards 
 Employment contracts
 Leave entitlements
 Other statutory requirements
TALENT MANAGEMENT

 Previously, only multinational companies or indigenious companies


with capacity for talent management, budget for career development
or training. Companies often suffer from the poaching of their
employees after investment in their development. Consequently only
few companies sponsor the professional studies of their employees.
 The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in the
availability of self-development programs sponsored by government
agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and global
organizations.
