Mixing the secret sauce of employee engagement in non-profit organizations

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research dives into the interplay between the complex concept of employee engagement and the employee perception of HR practices (PHRP), within non-profits. Data from the respondents revealed that PHRP was a key, direct driver of engagement, both at an individual job role level, and at an organizational engagement level. Trust in HR processes is very much needed, for an organization culture in a non-profit to thrive. Weaving proof-through-behavior into HR practices can boost engagement and curb employee attrition, by helping employees to expect positive HR interactions in future. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
