Employee engagement is an important aspect in organizations that can improve employee performance and company productivity. The purpose of this article is to analyze the factors that influence employee engagement and its implications on employee retention. This study uses a literature review by collecting articles from related databases such as Google Scholar and relevant journals. The results of the analysis indicate that factors such as good leadership, supportive work environment, organizational justice, and career development opportunities are some of the factors that influence employee engagement. Employee engagement itself has positive implications on employee retention, by reducing employee turnover rates and the costs associated with recruitment and training. Therefore, organizations need to pay attention to these factors to improve employee engagement and increase employee retention.
