Employers are realizing that the success of an organization relies on more than hiring qualified candidates. Effective human resource (HR) planning and management is required at all stages of an employee’s corporate lifecycle to help ensure employee growth and satisfaction. Employee satisfaction is vital to the success of an organization because of its direct impact on productivity. When employees are satisfied, they are more likely to produce high quality work, optimize performance, and exercise more critical thought and creativity. This combination of high satisfaction and maximum productivity amounts to employee engagement.
Engaged employees are invaluable assets since they are motivated to perform to the highest of their abilities because of their dedication and voluntary commitment to the success of the organization. Companies who effectively cultivate employee engagement benefit from low employee turn-over, greater customer satisfaction, a cohesive corporate culture, improved performance and communication, and higher employee commitment to the core values and objectives of the organization.

By choosing appropriate methods and incorporating them into every day activities, HR practices become meaningful processes that reflect the corporate culture, clarify the roles and responsibilities of employees, and demonstrate how each individual's contributions tie in to the overall achievements of the organization.The best practices featured in this report should not be considered as pre-established solutions to address HR challenges. Rather, they should be regarded as problem solving techniques that take into consideration employee engagement and corporate culture while supporting the core values and business objectives of the organization
