ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the impact of worker’s compensation on productivity in Nigerian Breweries Plc. A survey was conducted among workers who had been injured on the job and had received compensation. The results show that there is a positive relationship between worker’s compensation and productivity, as workers who received compensation were more likely to return to work earlier and be more productive. However, the study also found that inadequate compensation and delayed access to medical care were major challenges faced by workers, which could negatively impact productivity. Based on these findings, recommendations are provided to Nigerian Breweries Plc to review its worker’s compensation policy, provide timely access to medical care, and establish a comprehensive return-to-work program. This study provides insights into the impact of worker’s compensation on productivity and highlights the need for further research in this area.
