Employee Engagement In Virtual Industrial Environment

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the industry have made distance working possible through the use of a Virtual Industrial (VI) environment. It has various advantages like location independence and storage of the work done, but the absence of a project manager may be felt and the industrial sections may become monotonous. This paper discusses the process of Employee Engagement (EE) in a virtual industrial environment. Based on our experience in both conventional and e-working environment, we propose some techniques which can help to enliven the VI environment, make the working more interesting for the employee and lead to effective Employee Engagement (EE).
