So much has been written on employee engagement that, this subject has become highly complex.
Nevertheless, I am glad that the HR leaders who have answered this question before me are bang on target and have given excellent views.
I shall lay before you the Five Rules that I follow for a happy workplace.
1. You can never find a one size fits all model when it comes to increasing employee engagement levels. Every person is unique.
2. It is not necessary that what works for my company's employees will also work for your company's employees. Every organization has its own DNA. Some organizations become inward looking and become quality conscious, some organizations go the whole hog.
3. If you don't know where you stand today, you cant set your goals to where you can be tomorrow. Before embarking on this journey, be sure to measure the employee engagement index.
4. It is not necessary that if you raise the employee engagement levels, performance too will rise. Happy employees are productive employees , provided you do not use the employee engagement tools in isolation , but sync it with your other HR tools.
5. The opposite of satisfaction is NOT dissatisfaction. It is No Satisfaction.
The opposite of Dissatisfaction is NOT satisfaction, it is No dissatisfaction.
By improving upon the hygiene factors(dissatisfaction factors) alone , you cant raise the employee engagement levels. Just by providing a nice place to work will not increase your employee engagement levels. Just to give the readers of this answer an idea :
Dissatisfaction Factors - Company policies, relationships, supervision, working conditions, salaries, status etc.
Satisfaction Factors - Achievement, recognition, growth possibilities, responsibility levels etc.
Remember, we can't increase engagement levels, if the dissatisfying factors are not addressed. You can't plan the career of an employee when he has not been paid for the last three months.
Hope this answers your question! :)

There is no service or idea that fits all organizations when it comes to increasing engagement, satisfaction, or loyalty etc.,; assessment of current status is indispensable for designing suitable interventions for each organization. Then, aspects such as loyalty or engagement must be considered by any organization as important as any other main annual objective in order to succeed. that is, organizations should set objectives and tailor/customize specific initiatives and interventions to tackle those aspects. Those then should be measured periodically.

Weekly team lunch is a good idea......................
An annual Employee Engagement Survey can be a good place to start. This will tell you where engagement stands in your company vs. where you want it to be. Thereafter begin by implementing tried and tested engagement programs which are customized to your unique environment.
Ask them to engage in a survey, where they get to rate internal aspects of the company, and give them a space to write their own opinions about other aspects.
