Background of the Study
Flexible working arrangements (FWAs) have gained popularity in recent years as a response to changing employee needs and advancements in technology (Kumar & Singh, 2023). These arrangements, which include options such as remote work, flextime, compressed workweeks, and part-time employment, are designed to offer employees greater autonomy over their work schedules and locations. FWAs are particularly relevant in today’s business environment, as they can enhance work-life balance, reduce stress, and ultimately improve employee productivity (Musa & Olalekan, 2024).
Stanbic IBTC, a major player in Nigeria’s banking sector, has implemented various flexible working arrangements to improve employee satisfaction and increase productivity. With a significant presence in Kaduna State, the bank is committed to improving employee well-being while ensuring operational efficiency. However, the effect of FWAs on employee productivity in the context of Stanbic IBTC has not been extensively studied, and understanding this relationship is crucial for the bank to optimize its human resource policies and remain competitive in the industry.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of flexible working arrangements on employee productivity at Stanbic IBTC in Kaduna State, with a focus on understanding the benefits and challenges associated with FWAs for both employees and employers.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing adoption of flexible working arrangements, there is limited research on how these arrangements affect employee productivity, especially in the banking sector. At Stanbic IBTC in Kaduna State, while FWAs have been implemented, there is insufficient understanding of how these arrangements contribute to or hinder employee productivity. Addressing this gap is essential for optimizing workplace policies and ensuring that FWAs lead to positive outcomes for both employees and the organization.
