Background of the Study
Employee absenteeism is a persistent issue that organizations face globally, with significant consequences on operational efficiency, productivity, and employee morale. In the banking sector, where customer service, timely transactions, and adherence to deadlines are crucial, absenteeism can disrupt operations and negatively affect the organization’s overall performance. Fidelity Bank, a major financial institution in Nigeria, operates within a highly competitive and customer-centric environment. Employee absenteeism in the bank can impact not only day-to-day operations but also the bank's profitability and its reputation in the market.
In Kano State, where Fidelity Bank has a robust presence, absenteeism among employees has been observed to rise due to various reasons, including personal illness, family obligations, and low employee engagement. As absenteeism increases, the bank is faced with challenges such as a reduction in workforce availability, increased pressure on remaining employees, and potentially diminished service quality. Consequently, absenteeism has the potential to reduce organizational productivity. This study aims to assess the relationship between employee absenteeism and organizational productivity within Fidelity Bank’s operations in Kano State, providing insights into the causes and consequences of absenteeism and suggesting possible interventions.

This study seeks to investigate the causes and effects of absenteeism on organizational productivity at Fidelity Bank in Kano State, as well as to explore potential strategies for reducing absenteeism.
