Employee engagement is widely cited as an HR priority — but two core questions often go unanswered: why does an organization genuinely need to invest in it, and what specifically needs to be done to improve it systematically?

Lunch & Connect #256 addresses both directly: when does employee engagement create sustained competitive advantage — and what are the concrete mechanisms, from High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) and flexible working arrangements, to pay and incentive alignment and line manager enablement.

🎙 SPEAKER: Prof. Jim Arrowsmith
