Employee engagement has a huge influence on any organization’s success and growth. When done the right way, it fuels productivity, motivation, and innovation among employees.

But how do organizations achieve this feel-good factor?

Employee engagement isn’t something you can just buy with flashy gimmicks. It requires a deeper, more meaningful approach to truly resonate with your team.

In fact, as per the State of the Global Workplace Report 2023, despite all efforts, only one out of every four workers is engaged, an indication that there is probably more room for improvement.

Employee engagement covers a gamut of factors, including workplace culture, communication, recognition, and career development opportunities. At its core, it is about creating a sense of belonging and alignment with organizational goals.

In this context, Learning and Development (L&D) plays a pivotal role. Employees give a great deal of importance to learning and career growth. As many as 70% say they lack the essential skills required to excel in their roles. This deficiency not only leads to disengagement, but also affects their productivity levels. L&D provides continuous growth opportunities, upskilling and reskilling initiatives that not only enhance employee capabilities, but also contribute to their sense of fulfillment and engagement.
