The study was guided by two objectives which were designed in consistency with the research questions and hypotheses.

This study therefore concludes that in order to improve the performance of employees in the prevailing social circumstances, flexible work arrangement is a preferred option. In line with the findings and conclusion above, the following recommendations were made by the researchers; Adoption of flexible work arrangement is very key in the enhancement of employees' performance and that Job sharing is important in fast-tracking efficiency of the employees by reducing if not eliminating job-over-load which can lead to stress and subsequently inefficiency; hence, it should be adopted by organizations
