Employers remain unsure of what to expect from the MacLeod review of employee engagement, due to be published this month
 
The review, announced by the government in September last year, is intended to examine new ways to boost the performance of employees in the UK. Spearheaded by David MacLeod, it will seek to define effective employee engagement and examine the barriers to achieving it. But its publication comes at a time when many employees have been left battered and bruised after seeing their colleagues being made redundant and their organisations go through brutal restructuring.
