The study investigated the relationship between remote work and employee productivity of Nigeria Breweries Plc. The four specific objectives of the study were to examine the relationship between digital technology and employee productivity at Nigeria Breweries Plc; to investigate the relationship between remote training and employee productivity at Nigeria Breweries Plc; and finally, investigate the relationship between a remote working environment and employee productivity at Nigeria Breweries Plc. The study adopted a descriptive research design and targeted a population of 200 employees. A sample of 150 employees was selected using the stratified random sampling technique. The researcher used Google Forms to issue questionnaires to the selected participants, whereby 150 recipients responded successfully to the survey. The collected information was analyzed through descriptive analysis using mean and standard deviation to present the demographic information and the responses to research questions. SPSS and Microsoft Excel software were utilized for data analysis. Analysis of variance was also done to determine the goodness of fit. Finally, the interpreted results were presented using charts, words, and figures. The findings reveal that digital technology significantly influences employee productivity, though its practical contribution is limited without adequate support. Remote training programs positively impact productivity and work quality but show gaps in equipping employees with new skills and enhancing task efficiency. Similarly, the remote work environment significantly affects productivity, particularly through improved work-life balance, though challenges such as disconnection and extended working hours persist. The study concludes that while these factors are vital, their effectiveness depends on complementary strategies, including improved infrastructure, targeted training, and supportive work policies. Recommendations are provided to optimize these factors, emphasizing the importance of context-specific solutions to enhance employee productivity in Nigeria Breweries Plc.
