Background of the Study
Facility management (FM) plays a pivotal role in ensuring the effective functioning of an organization's infrastructure and support services. In the banking sector, where the physical environment of the bank's premises directly affects both customer experience and operational efficiency, effective FM is crucial. Zenith Bank Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, operates numerous branches across the country, including in Adamawa State. Proper facility management within these branches ensures that the bank’s physical infrastructure supports its business objectives, facilitates smooth daily operations, and creates a conducive environment for both employees and customers.
FM encompasses a wide range of services, including building maintenance, safety and security, energy management, cleaning, and space planning. In a banking environment, where customer satisfaction and operational continuity are paramount, effective FM practices can directly influence productivity, reduce costs, and enhance service delivery. This study aims to appraise the facility management practices at Zenith Bank Plc in Adamawa State, evaluating how these practices align with the bank’s overall business strategy and contribute to operational efficiency.
