Data was gathered through surveys, interviews, and a review of existing literature on employee engagement and remote work practices. A total of 200 employees from XYZ Company participated in the study, providing valuable insights into their experiences with remote work and the factors that influence their engagement levels. The findings of the study revealed several key themes related to employee engagement in the era of remote work. These include the importance of clear communication, regular feedback, opportunities for social interaction, and the need for adequate technological support. The analysis of the data highlighted the impact of remote work on employee engagement and underscored the significance of tailored strategies to address the unique challenges of virtual work environments. Drawing on the research findings, this thesis offers practical recommendations for organizations seeking to enhance employee engagement in remote work settings. These recommendations encompass the implementation of communication tools, virtual team-building activities, performance management systems, and flexible work arrangements. By adopting a proactive and inclusive approach to employee engagement, organizations can create a positive work culture that fosters motivation, collaboration, and employee well-being. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on employee engagement strategies in the era of remote work, offering valuable insights for both academics and practitioners in the field of human resource management. The study underscores the importance of adapting traditional engagement practices to meet the evolving needs of remote employees, and provides a roadmap for organizations to cultivate a highly engaged and motivated workforce in a virtual work environment.
