Abstract: This research examines the implementation of flexible work arrangements antecedent to Generation Z's work-life balance. The work flexibility desired by Generation Z workers with schedules, places, and communication, as well as a work environment that supports personal and professional life balance. FWAs are proven to improve employee satisfaction, performance, and employee welfare. However, the company faces challenges in the oversight and management of FWAs. This study explores effective strategies to achieve WLB for Generation Z and the obstacles in implementing FWA policies. This systematic literature review used the PRISMA method with inclusion and exclusion criteria, from which 19 Research Journals were obtained. The results found that implementing flexible working arrangements (FWA) for Generation Z to improve work-life balance requires supportive HRM policies, such as flexible scheduling and remote working, as well as appropriate training for leaders and employees. Effective strategies emphasize the role of leaders in reducing work conflict through flexibility policies. FWAs have a positive impact by providing greater control over working hours and supporting Generation Z's work-life balance. Challenges such as fairness, monitoring, and lack of implementation plans can be overcome with inclusive policies and clear monitoring strategies to maximize employee welfare and organizational productivity.
