Building a strategic employee engagement strategy involves defining clear goals, such as enhancing satisfaction, reducing turnover, and fostering a positive workplace culture. I begin by assessing current engagement levels through surveys and feedback, then develop transparent communication channels to ensure employee voices are heard.

Selecting and implementing a best-in-class People systems (HCMS or HRIS) is crucial for enhancing organizational efficiency, productivity, and strategic decision-making.
