What is Employee engagement?

Employee engagement: How committed and motivated people feel at work.

Where Employee engagement fits

Employee engagement is part of Work & Pay in People & HR. Work and pay balance fairness and flexibility: wages, overtime, remote or hybrid work and the risk of burnout. High turnover is a costly warning sign.
