What are the Big 8 engagement strategies?

The Big 8 engagement strategies include clear communication, employee recognition, career development, leadership visibility, strong onboarding, continuous feedback, wellness support, and meaningful work. These core tactics aim to create a work environment where employees must be valued, supported, and aligned with the company’s mission.

Each strategy addresses a critical area of the employee experience and when implemented together, they significantly enhance both short-term motivation and long-term commitment. Organizations that master these areas tend to outperform in retention and culture strength.
