Background of the Study
Work-life balance (WLB) refers to the equilibrium between personal life and work responsibilities, and it is increasingly considered a crucial factor in employee satisfaction, performance, and retention. With the pressures of the modern workplace, achieving a healthy work-life balance has become a significant challenge for both employees and organizations. Fidelity Bank, a leading financial institution in Nigeria, operates in diverse regions, including Yobe State, where work-life balance may present specific challenges due to regional economic conditions, job market dynamics, and societal expectations.
In recent years, Fidelity Bank has been focusing on employee welfare, implementing initiatives designed to enhance the work-life balance of its employees. However, despite these efforts, employee retention in Yobe State remains a key concern. Employees, especially in the banking sector, are often faced with long working hours, high-performance expectations, and the stress of achieving business targets. These factors can lead to burnout, reduced job satisfaction, and, ultimately, higher turnover rates. On the other hand, a positive work-life balance is linked to increased job satisfaction, better physical and mental well-being, and a greater likelihood of employees staying with the organization.
The relationship between work-life balance and employee retention is particularly important in regions like Yobe State, where the labor market is competitive, and employees seek stable work environments with favorable work conditions. This study will explore how Fidelity Bank’s work-life balance initiatives impact employee retention in the bank’s operations in Yobe State, considering local cultural and economic factors that may influence this relationship.
Statement of the Problem
Fidelity Bank has implemented several work-life balance initiatives to improve employee satisfaction and retention. However, employee turnover remains a concern, particularly in the Yobe State branch, where challenges such as long working hours, limited resources, and regional socio-economic conditions may affect employees' ability to maintain a balanced life. The precise impact of work-life balance on employee retention in this specific region has not been adequately researched, leaving a gap in understanding the effectiveness of the bank's efforts. This study aims to investigate the extent to which work-life balance influences employee retention at Fidelity Bank in Yobe State.
