Human Resource Management Strategies for Enhancing Employee Engagement in Remote Work Environments

Employee engagement in remote work environments emerges as a
critical determinant of organizational performance, sustainability,
and workforce well-being. This chapter examines Human Resource
Management (HRM) strategies that enhance employee engagement in
remote work settings. A structured empirical study involving 312
remote employees across IT, education, finance, and service sectors
is conducted. Quantitative analysis indicates that digital leadership
support improves engagement by 27.4%, technology-enabled HR
practices increase engagement scores by 31.6%, and work–life
balance initiatives reduce disengagement by 22.1%. Structural
equation modeling confirms that HRM strategies explain 68% of the
variance in employee engagement (R² = 0.68). The findings
demonstrate that sustainable HRM practices aligned with SDG 8
(Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 9 (Industry,
Innovation, and Infrastructure) significantly enhance engagement in
remote work contexts
