Human Resource activities have become essential with the transformation of work style and design. The need for employee commitment is mandatory, especially in the remote work setting. Organizational strategic needs need to support the organizational goal. Having competitive and stress-free employees is essential for an organization to perform continuously. The HR activities design must be watchful and critical to achieving this. Alongside, the gentle approach to tackling human resources becomes even vital. Hence, the research investigates organizational performance using two anteceding factors; talent management and HR practices. Employee engagement is expected to mediate the relationship. This study hoped to support many theorists.
