Employee engagement is the emotional connection which an employee feels towards his or her organisation that tends to influence their behaviours and level of effort in work-related activities. Building an emotional commitment within the workforce for their organisation and its goals is one of the main objectives of employee engagement. Aarti’s Got Talent (AGT) is an employee engagement initiative which provides a platform to our employees to showcase their talent to the entire AIL family. The purpose of this initiative is to put a smile on employees' faces by sharing their hobbies and some hidden talents. The initiative is led centrally by the Employee Experience Team. Various such activities are organised all the year round.
