It is believed that an engaged employee becomes aware of business context, and works with other colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. Employee engagement is also linked to staff turnover in that when employees are engaged they tend to be happy and would not leave the organisation, so promoting employee engagement would bring a solution to organisations faced with a challenge of staff turnover which will directly be linked to an organization’s improved performance. In this paper a literature review from various research findings and corporate practices are employed using a descriptive study technique. It projects the impact of employee engagement on organization’s productivity. It also presents the factors influencing the employee engagement, staff turnover and organizational outcomes.
