Despite the considerable accumulated domestic and foreign research on employee engagement as a factor of growth and economic efficiency, many areas relating engagement diagnostics and assessment of the relation between engagement and results of financial and economic development remain understudied. In a digital economy, personnel knowledge and competences are recognized as a strategic resource for the development, which mainstreams research in the area of employee engagement and assessment of its impact on development processes and results. It is possible to assess engagement objectively and measure its resource potential by using HR analytics.

Based on the received results, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the necessity to enhance employee engagement in order to create conditions for sustainable development and growth of economic efficiency of enterprises.
