Employee engagement is a crucial aspect of organizational success, particularly in the context of remote work environments. This thesis examines the employee engagement strategies implemented by XYZ Company in managing a remote workforce. The study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities associated with remote work and how these impact employee engagement levels within the organization. Through a comprehensive case study approach, data was gathered through interviews, surveys, and document analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the employee engagement strategies. The research findings reveal that XYZ Company has implemented various strategies to enhance employee engagement in a remote work setting, including regular communication channels, virtual team-building activities, and performance feedback mechanisms. However, challenges such as feelings of isolation, communication barriers, and work-life balance issues were identified as potential barriers to engagement. The study highlights the importance of continuous feedback, recognition, and support from managers in fostering employee engagement in a remote work environment. The research methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods to provide a comprehensive analysis of the employee engagement strategies at XYZ Company. The findings indicate that employees value opportunities for collaboration, clear communication, and a sense of belonging despite working remotely. The study also identifies areas for improvement, such as enhancing technology infrastructure, providing additional training and support for remote workers, and promoting a culture of trust and transparency within the organization. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the existing literature on employee engagement in remote work environments by offering insights into the strategies and practices that can enhance employee engagement levels in virtual settings. The study emphasizes the importance of proactive communication, managerial support, and organizational culture in fostering employee engagement and overall organizational success in a remote work context.
