Abstract	The increasing adoption of remote working arrangements has transformed traditional approaches to employee management, workplace interaction, and organisational performance. While remote work provides flexibility, autonomy, and improved work-life integration, it also creates challenges related to employee engagement, communication, collaboration, and productivity management. In this changing work environment, understanding the relationship between employee engagement and productivity has become essential for organisations seeking sustainable performance.This study examines employee engagement and productivity in remote working environments through a conceptual analysis of human resource management theories, organisational behaviour research, and contemporary workplace studies. The research explores how factors such as communication practices, leadership support, digital collaboration, employee autonomy, and organisational culture influence engagement levels and productivity outcomes among remote employees. The analysis indicates that employee engagement remains a critical determinant of remote work effectiveness. Employees who experience meaningful communication, organisational support, recognition, and professional development opportunities demonstrate stronger motivation, commitment, and productivity. However, remote work environments may also generate challenges including social isolation, communication barriers, reduced organisational connection, and difficulties in maintaining work boundaries.The study concludes that remote productivity depends not only on technological infrastructure but also on effective engagement strategies and human-centred management practices. Organisations that develop supportive remote work cultures, invest in digital collaboration systems, and strengthen employee relationships can improve productivity while maintaining employee satisfaction and long-term organisational resilience.
