The result shows that employee engagement and individual well-being has a significant effect on efficiency and effectiveness which has strong ability to enhance the organisation performance. It was recommended that the top management of organizations should keep in mind employee engagement various drivers such as empowering the employees, providing full information, support from the top management, aligning efforts with strategy while planning to engage their employees to ensure efficiency and improved performance in their organisation. Secondly, communication within the organisations should focus more on engaging employee, individual well-being, empowering employees, rewards and recognition and building a bond between leaders and employees as strategic objectives.
