This study intends to examine how employee engagement, work-life balance, and flexible workspace affect employees' performance at the Directorate General of State Asset Management (DGSAM), a division of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia. This study was carried out utilising a quantitative methodology, and linear regression was used for analysis. The responses of 478 DGSAM employees who were selected using a purposive sampling method provided the data for this investigation. According to the study's findings, work-life balance, employee engagement, and flexible working spaces all positively and significantly affect how well DGSAM employees perform. This research suggested to the DGSAM organization to improve the implementation of Flexible Working Space by facilitating the work unit environment by completing Activity Based Workplace facilities and infrastructure, to encourage employees to increase their competence by optimizing the use of the learning ecosystem through the Ministry of Finance Corporate University which is an integrated learning ecosystem, and to increase attention to what employees need in their work, including by creating a comfortable working atmosphere and environment, as well as providing more motivation to employees by implementing rewards for employees who have extraordinary contributions and performance to the organization, in addition to the reward system that has been established.
