It can be estimated that the average time someone in the office spends in the bathroom is about 14 minutes per day. For days with big poos I would estimate that figure to be closer to 30-40 minutes. While the poo itself may only take a fraction of that time, the wiping is typically the most time-taking part.
In banking, a process that saves even one minute for let's say 1,000 employees every day will translate to immense value.
By installing bidets in corporate office bathrooms, time spent wiping can be nearly cut in half (per my personal extensive experience using bidets vs toilet paper), eliminating wasted minutes and increasing total employee productivity.
The initial capital expenditure would be an insignificant sum compared to the expected return from the time saved.
admire the thesis but you've never used a bidet if you think they're less time consuming than wiping. When I've got warm water blasting my hoop the last thing I want to do is get up and go back to work (pause).
Two faulty assumptions:
1. Different bathroom equipment will result in time savings
2. Time saved will lead to revenue increasing activities
You need evidence to support the time savings. The estimate of minutes saved per employee should come from a measured sample, not personal experience. You should also consider maintenance, cleaning and employee comfort. Some people will not use a bidet even if it is available. If you want to make this a real business case, track current average restroom time, estimate adoption rate, and calculate cost per unit compared to the value of regained work time.
Real talk here. If one does use a bidet (as I had to in work trips to Japan) then the washing has to be followed by a drying session, where warm air is applied to the affected area. Otherwise the user has a wet bum, and that's just no good. So the actual time being employed to use a bidet seems to me to be longer and not shorter than wiping. Unless I'm using it wrong, which is possible. I never got the hang of those things.
You can just pat dry with toilet paper. It's still saving time compared to if you were dry wiping with TP because you're not longer aiming to clean, simply dry.
As others said, though it may not necessarily save time, you'll definitely feel cleaner and as a result likely more productive knowing you're so fresh, so clean.

I am more than sure that bidets are some type of homosexual invention to justify touching your anus during the day.
Are you saying that straight men don’t wipe their ass?
Are you just walking around with your crack full of mud all day?
