Abstract
In Nigeria, the healthcare system is underfunded and neglected, which has led to significant problems for the industry. However, the majority of federal employees, including those in the Nigerian Correctional Services, are covered by their employers' health plans. Despite their involvement in healthcare, companies' reasons for offering workers health insurance have received very little attention. The study looked at how healthcare benefits affected employees' job satisfaction in the Nigerian Correctional Service's Ilorin command. With the help of a standardized questionnaire, 260 personnel were chosen at random from the 724 officers in the Ilorin command. Utilizing multiple regression analysis, the data was examined. The results showed that job happiness is highly impacted by healthcare benefits. The study came to the conclusion that employee work satisfaction is significantly impacted by healthcare benefits. The introduction of the health coverage among the government employees has drastically improved access to healthcare delivery. The study therefore recommends government should increase the healthcare benefits and create informatison forum that would enable employees at all levels benefits from the healthcare delivery services.
