Employee Engagement

Employee engagement refers to the involvement, enthusiasm, and emotional connection employees have with their work, teams, and organisation. High engagement fosters productivity, innovation, retention, and mental well-being, while disengagement can lead to lower performance and turnover. Organisations that listen to employees and cultivate a supportive culture create long-term value, enhance workplace resilience, and strengthen overall business performance.
