Employee engagement is a critical aspect of running a successful midsize company, but it can often be overlooked due to the many responsibilities that HR leaders have.

With limited bandwidth, HR leaders must prioritize employee engagement to avoid losing the war while winning battles. Focusing on employee engagement may be the most strategic thing for busy HR leaders in midsize companies to do.
