Introduction: Employee engagement plays a vital role in the success of any organization. Within this context, human resources managers are crucial in designing strategies to promote employee engagement. Methodology: This study employs a qualitative phenomenological research design to explore the lived experiences of human resources managers in promoting employee engagement within their organizations. The study involves conducting in-depth interviews with ten human resources managers across various industries. The central question guiding this research is: "What strategies do Human Resource Managers use to promote a culture of engagement within their organizations?" Data was gathered through twenty-five semi-structured interviews and analyzed using an inductive approach to develop themes. Results: This study identified three emerging themes: Performance Management, Talent Management, and Team Management. The findings reveal that Performance Management involves using surveillance methods to provide feedback during and after appraisals. Talent Management includes implementing motivational factors to boost team morale, recognizing and appreciating employees, and providing professional education for employee growth. Team Management involves fostering teamwork, where individuals share ideas and skills to achieve shared objectives, thus promoting communication and cooperation within the workplace. Discussion: The three themes are crucial for human resource managers in promoting employee engagement because they collectively contribute to fostering a positive work environment, enhancing employee satisfaction, and ultimately improving organizational performance. Recommendations: This research paper contributes to the existing literature on employee engagement and therefore recommends that future researchers conduct related studies of employee engagement exploring other variables such as productivity, employee well-being, and satisfaction. The human resource managers can also use this paper to effectively promote employee engagement and foster a culture of open communication and collaboration to manage talent and performance within their team.
