The importance of staff trusts and commitment in the productivity of Cypriot businesses

Employee engagement is inextricably linked to productivity and innovation in organizations. According to the literature, engaged employees develop an emotional bond with the company they work for, increasing their level of collaboration, while at the same time being fully aligned with the vision and goals of the company. At the same time, this commitment is increased through investments in training and the implementation of a methodology and techniques that emphasize a fair and objective recruitment process, which increases trust and contributes to the establishment of a favorable working environment. The research revealed that these types of HR practices have a significant impact on increasing productivity and greater commitment. Furthermore, the study points out that engaged employees lead to better functioning of an organization and therefore to greater success, while lack of engagement results in a neutral or indifferent attitude of the employee, less willingness to cooperate and high rates of resignation from the work they offer. Through statistical analysis, it is understood that engagement acts as an intermediate dynamic variable between human efforts and overall performance, highlighting the need for organizations to develop strategies that strengthen employee engagement.
