The board will provide senior HR executives valuable insights that will help define the future and importance of employee engagement in today’s organizations through annual research and education of HR professionals.  Working closely with HR.com’s HR Research Institute (HRRI), the newly-appointed board of industry experts and thought leaders will counsel on the most impactful topics and key areas within employee engagement to positively and effectively guide primary research. The upcoming research study will provide a detailed snapshot of where organizations are with employee engagement today, and how they can prepare to thrive over the next few years.

• Examination of everything from how organizations define and measure engagement to what HR and managerial practices have a positive or negative impact on it.
