Abstract
Recently, a lot of research is being conducted espousing the role of employees in achieving growth and sustainability. Everyday organizations are confronted with unforeseen changes in the form of innovations, competition, and legal compliances. These factors may hinder the organizational growth. Research studies have shown that employees play a crucial and important role in the long-term success of the organization as overall performance is a result of employees' enhanced productivity, which is an outcome of motivation, satisfaction, and engagement. An employee is said to be engaged if he/she attains the objectives, stays committed with the organization, and represents the company. High engagement of an employee with the organization leads to various organizational outcomes like high productivity and profitability, customer satisfaction, and reduced turnover of employees. The chapter explicates the concept of employee engagement and its drivers and relevance in the current scenario. Furthermore, various practices implemented by Indian organizations have also been discussed in the chapter.Keywords
