Abstract

This research study aims to analyze the resource-intensive nature of current recruitment practices in selected companies in Mysore City and develop strategies for sustaining employee engagement and loyalty. By examining the challenges faced in talent acquisition and retention, the study seeks to identify opportunities for enhancing organizational efficiency and effectiveness in attracting and retaining skilled individuals. This study conducts a thorough examination of recruitment practices and employee engagement strategies in both manufacturing and service sectors by employing a descriptive research design. A sample size of 100 HR managers and executives are selected using simple random sampling, with primary data collected through structured questionnaires. Statistical tools such as ANOVA are utilized to analyze the data, providing insights into industry-wise variations and uniformities in recruitment practices and employee engagement initiatives. The analysis reveals consistent employee engagement scores across manufacturing and service sectors, with non-significant differences in variables such as employee satisfaction scores, retention rates, and participation in training and development programs. Moreover, industry-wise variations in employee engagement strategies, including communication effectiveness and mentorship program participation, are found to be statistically insignificant, This study unfolds the importance of adopting a holistic approach to employee engagement and recruitment practices. The findings suggest that certain engagement initiatives can be implemented uniformly across industries, although organizations should remain attentive to sector-specific needs. Future research could delve deeper into understanding the impact of organizational culture on employee engagement and explore innovative strategies to address evolving workplace dynamics. Ultimately, fostering a resilient and loyal workforce requires continuous adaptation and refinement of engagement strategies in diverse organizational settings.
