Abstract

Employee wellbeing and engagement run hand-in-hand as it has a positive relationship and builds off of one another. When the employee is happy and feels content with their job, it does affect their wellbeing. As well as when the employee is physically and mentally healthy, they will also feel happier in the workplace thus contributing to better performance. However, employees that are highly engaged demonstrate a much workload in which the condition might cause stress for employees consequently affect their wellbeing. This condition occurred in one of the leading startup companies named Gojek, specifically for the employees in Bandung Region. A survey indicates a low number of employees agreed that their amount of stress is manageable. Meanwhile, manageable stress has a strong correlation with employee engagement. This study has aimed to identify the factor of employee wellbeing that could engage the employees. The data were processed using Multiple Linear Regression to identify which independent variable significantly affected the dependent variable. The research found that from the five factors, only Financial Wellbeing has a significant correlation with the employee engagement in Gojek Company in Bandung Region. Therefore, it is important for the company to develop employee wellbeing initiatives programs that focus on the employees’ financial wellbeing in order to improve employee wellbeing and maintain employee engagement in a good state.
