Driving Employee Engagement in Today’s Dynamic Workplace: A Literature Review

Abstract

AbstractIncreasing engagement is a primary objective of organizations seeking to understand and measure engagement. Employee engagement is the extent to which employees feel connected, passionate about their duties at work and are committed and put unrestricted effort into their work. Employee engagement strategies have been proven to reduce staff turnover, improve productivity and performance, retain customers at a greater rate and make more profits. Employee engagement today has become interchangeable with terms like employee satisfaction and employee well-being. Professionals have a higher possibility to be “distracted” and “disengaged” at work in the dynamic workplace today. Most importantly, engaged employees have a sense of well-being and are happier both in their personal and in their professional lives. High levels of work engagement are when employees are involved with, committed to, enthusiastic, and passionate about their work. The objective of this research is to do a literature review and analyse the result that focuses on the evolving role of employee engagement practices in the dynamic workplace of today.KeywordsEmployee engagementEngagement practicesWork engagementDynamic workplace
