Employee engagement is inextricably linked to productivity and innovation in organizations. According to the literature,
engaged employees develop an emotional bond with the company they work for, increasing their level of collaboration,
while at the same time being fully aligned with the vision and goals of the company. At the same time, this commitment
is increased through investments in training and the implementation of a methodology and techniques that emphasize
a fair and objective recruitment process, which increases trust and contributes to the establishment of a favorable
working environment. The research revealed that these types of HR practices have a significant impact on increasing
productivity and greater commitment.
Furthermore, the study points out that engaged employees lead to better functioning of an organization and therefore
to greater success, while lack of engagement results in a neutral or indifferent attitude of the employee, less willingness
to cooperate and high rates of resignation from the work they offer. Through statistical analysis, it is understood that
engagement acts as an intermediate dynamic variable between human efforts and overall performance, highlighting the
need for organizations to develop strategies that strengthen employee engagement.
