Emerging developments in employee voice and engagement demonstrate that it enhances knowledge development, sharing, and innovation. When workers understand that managers hear their voices, they are more open to sharing task ideas, discussing improvement openly, and focusing on meeting their job goals (Jha et al. 2019, p.5). Therefore, managers should encourage employees to speak out and develop each other in the job environment.

Additionally, acknowledging employee voice increases engagement and decreases occupational mistakes. Also, engagement increases managers' opportunity to receive feedback that creates growth and development through improving processes, policies, and overall company culture. Besides, when employees feel heard, understood, and valued, it reduces absenteeism at work since workers value their work (Jha et al. 2019, p.5). Furthermore, improving engagement is a tool for higher retention levels and improve productivity. Therefore, managers should encourage employees to speak out, interact freely and ask questions to build a formidable family in the workplace.
