EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY: HRM PRACTICES AND OUTCOMES

Abstract

Employee engagement is a critical factor in determining organizational productivity. This review paper examines the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and employee engagement, and their collective impact on organizational productivity. By synthesizing existing literature, the study identifies key HRM practices such as performance appraisal, training and development, reward and recognition, and work-life balance initiatives that foster employee engagement. Additionally, the paper explores how engaged employees contribute to enhanced productivity through increased motivation, job satisfaction, and reduced turnover rates. The findings underscore the importance of strategic HRM practices in cultivating a highly engaged workforce, which in turn drives organizational success. This research provides valuable insights for HR practitioners and organizational leaders aiming to implement effective engagement strategies to boost productivity.
