How do I increase engagement among my employees?

To cultivate a culture of engagement, make sure your employees know their job responsibilities, their deliverables and how they are measured. Do not forget to give a pat on the back for a job well done! As they are always thinking of their next step, show a clear career progress path. Make the office team a family away from home; let employees have fun in office. An employee spends most of their waking life with them after all. Engage in Training and Development opportunities, such as team building activities and embrace new work styles: flexi-time, remote working, skype meetings, etc. Most importantly, let each employee gain a sense of identity and belongingness within the company framework
