Managing Employee Retention and Turnover in Nigeria: A Practical Handbook was born out of a need to address this gap in both academic and practical terms. This book is not merely a theoretical discourse but a comprehensive guide that blends research, real-world case studies, and actionable strategies to help Nigerian employers, HR professionals, policymakers, and scholars understand the “why” behind the movement of talent and more importantly, how to retain it.
The Nigerian workforce is young, vibrant, and full of potential. It operates in an environment marked by rapid economic shifts, inadequate infrastructure, generational changes, and sociopolitical complexities. These realities demand a new lens through which we must view employee retention one that goes beyond imported HR models and truly reflects the Nigerian experience.
Throughout the chapters, readers will explore the root causes of turnover in Nigeria, including poor management practices, inadequate compensation structures, workplace culture mismatches, and broader macroeconomic influences. We will also highlight successful practices adopted by Nigerian organisations that have bucked the trend, retaining top talent and building resilient workforces in the face of adversity.
This book is intended for a diverse audience:
In writing this book, my goal is not only to share knowledge but also to spark a national conversation around how we treat, value, and develop our human capital. As Nigeria looks toward future growth in a competitive global market, our success will hinge not only on natural resources or technology, but on how well we manage and retain the people who drive innovation, service, and progress.
