CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Human Resource Management (HRM) is believed to be the understanding and also the application of the policies and procedures that directly affect the people working within an organization.
According to Armstrong, (2007) stated that the management of the workforce of a firm is very important in guaranteeing sufficient staff levels with the adequate skills, properly rewarded and motivated. Human Resource Planning (HRP) shows the present and future human resources needs so as to enable an organization achieve its goals. It is further stated that, HRP should create a nexus between HRM and the overall strategic plan of an organization.
According to Reilly (2003), in his research work stated that human resource planning (HRP) practices help a firm in estimating the demand for labour and also to evaluate the size, nature and source of supply that is necessary to the demands of the organization. Human resource planning (HRP) practices include strategies that will encourage employees’ retention; it will also help enhance employees’ absence management, employees’ flexibility, talent management, recruitment and selection in an organization. Human resource planning (HRP) plays a significant role in the promotion of employer’s brand.
Most organizations in Nigeria have adopted various human resource management practices such as open management or Management by Objectives (MBO) which encourage participative management and helps with building trust and motivating staff; providing performance incentives for completion of a task in an appreciable manner.
Other HR best practices include collecting performance feedback where provision of constructive feedback from all other employees could be employed as a tool to improve individual employee and organizational performance. In order to position the organization for success, most organization in Nigeria has enrolled in workforce management. It is further opined that there are three key directions that have been identified to assist most firms in managing the workforce changes. The directions are building the organization’s potential, strengthening its competitiveness, and renewing its workforce. It is averred that, when workforce and strategic objectives are aligned, they guarantee the delivery of quality programs and services to the public since the planning would essentially assist in positioning the public service for the future.
A study on the effect of employee resourcing strategies on the performance of commercial banks in Nigeria (Ngui et al., 2014) established that, employee resourcing strategies have a significant positive effect on employees’ performance of the most organization in Nigeria.
1.2 HISTORY OF GUINNESS NIGERIA PLC
This is the story of a truly successful company with a rich heritage and a great track record of growth and strong performance. Guinness Nigeria is not only regarded as an iconic African company, renowned internationally for its brands of unmatched quality, but also as a company that believes in enriching the communities within which it operates, through investment and active participation in the positive evolution of society.
Guinness Stout was first exported to Sierra Leone in 1827 and soon became popular across West Africa. In 1963, Ikeja in Lagos Nigeria was chosen as the first location outside the British Isles to brew the iconic dark beer. Two years later, in 1965, Guinness Nigeria was listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.
Steady growth in markets for Guinness Stout and Harp Lager during the next 30 years prompted the building of three more major breweries in Nigeria. In 1974, the company built a second brewery in Benin, where it produced Harp lager beer. This facility was later expanded to accommodate a second stout brewery, commissioned in 1978. In 1982, a fourth Guinness brewery was built in Ogba, Lagos to brew Harp Premium Lager beer. This site too, was expanded to include Guinness Stout. Several years later, in 2004, Guinness Nigeria commissioned a new brewery at Aba, Abia State.
In 2011, the Benin and Ogba breweries were expanded to further increase capacity and meet the growing demand for Guinness Nigeria products which include the acclaimed brands: Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Guinness Extra Smooth, Malta Guinness, and Harp Lager beer. Other brands include Gordon’s Spark, Smirnoff Ice, Armstrong Dark Ale, Satzenbrau Pilsner, Top Malt, Harp Lime, Dubic Extra Lager and most recently, Malta Guinness Low Sugar.
Guinness Nigeria is committed to enriching the communities in which it operates and plays a leading role in the socio-economic development of its host communities. To ensure that efforts can be as effective as possible and are sustainable, the company concentrates on these focus areas: the provision of clean potable water (through the Diageo Water of Life initiative), Health and Education.
