Engagement Equation: Five Psychological Drivers Behind an Engaged Workforce

Employee engagement isn't just about workplace perks or trendy initiatives-it's about understanding the psychological drivers that fuel motivation, commitment, and performance. In a post-pandemic, hybrid workforce era, businesses continue to grapple with engagement challenges, often turning to surface-level solutions that fail to address the deeper human needs at play.

The Engagement Equation shifts the conversation from what engagement looks like to why employees engage, providing a fresh perspective rooted in five core psychological drivers: Autonomy, Relatedness, Competence, Recognition, and Growth. Backed by decades of research and real-world examples, this book uncovers the human-centered factors that truly influence workplace engagement-and offers actionable strategies leaders can apply to build thriving, motivated teams.

Whether you're a manager, HR professional, or business leader, this book will equip you with practical insights to transform the way you approach employee engagement, creating a culture where people don't just show up-they excel, innovate, and stay.
