2019 National HR Awards: Employee Engagement Award

Employee engagement is far more than just an HR buzzword. An engaged workforce is the foundation of corporate success — get it right, and you've got a recipe for higher productivity, morale and profits. Studies have shown firms with higher engagement scores outperform those with low scores, by a significant margin.
