Abstract

Remote work in small businesses have been seen to increase rapidly over the past few years. However, employee engagement has been low in such remote work settings. This study investigates factors to boost employee engagement among remote workers, by primarily focusing on communication, work-life harmony and timely feedback from management. A quantitative research design was used, gathering data from participants through Google Form questionnaire. The participants from different job backgrounds provided insights into the challenges of remote workers with respect to employee engagement. The findings suggested that clear communication, recognition and supportive leadership play key roles in improving engagement level by enhancing productivity. These results indicated approaches for small businesses management to foster motivation and engagement among remote workforce. The study highlights the need of engagement among remote workers for the achievement of organizational goals.
