Abstract

The word employee engagement devours its importance from past thirty years. The worth of practicing engagement is confirming by surveys, past literature, articles and reports which shows that outcomes of employee engagement are most priorities of every organization. Johnson's (2004) propounded in his book “The New Rules of Engagement” that the ability to engage employees, to make them work with our business, is going to be one of the greatest organizational battles of the coming 10 years”. Employee engagement level declined in year 2010, continue to decline in 2011 as revealed by a study of Work Trends. The study surveyed more than 31, 000 employees from 28 countries to measure employee engagement level by countries, industries and job level over the last five years. In the year 2012, the engagement level was 60 per cent, increased by 2 per cent point from previous year 2011 which was 58% only. Positively it is increasing by one point in each year in 2013 and 2014 to 61 per cent and 62 per cent respectively. The paper focuses on current perceptions on engagement and work practices. The paper attempts to explain engagement shift globally by adopting quantitative analysis. The study is specified to data and interviews sign up by Aon Hewitt's global employee research from 2010 to 2014.
