Great topic. One important aspect of the answer is related to the financial rewards for their performance.

But short-term, transactional rewards promote short-term/transactional behavior like offer-shopping, lack of interest in strategic initiatives that will give results in a year or two, and so on.

One solution is to gamify cash-based upsides for them based on their contributions and the company's future (2-4 years) cashflows (i.e. neither short-term/transactional bonuses, nor too far out and unpredictable returns like stock options)

This royalty and gamification based model is enabled by VenEx, a SaaS product we just launched to this community. It is already helping businesses improve the engagement and performance of the new generation of employees. Let us know what you think of it!

Employee wellness programs can contribute to an engaged workforce by keeping employees healthy and happy. Giving employees the option to take mental health days is a great way to enable healthier lifestyles beyond the office. Stock the kitchen with snacks that will sustain employees during the busy workday.

My suggestions include: offering workout classes as company outings, offering fitness subsidies, providing meditation classes, stocking the kitchen with healthy snacks.

In my opinion, An organization can enhance engagement by offering wellness initiatives. By sponsoring health classes as company outings and subsidizing fitness for employees, a business can improve employee engagement.
 Additionally, the business should provide meditation classes and encourage employees to take time off work to focus on their mental health. The business should also stock the kitchen with healthy snacks that will help employees throughout the day.
