The research was carried out in selected Branches of National Water and Sewerage Corporation. The researcher used convenient sampling method to select a sample of 163 respondents. Questionnaires were administered to them, were collected after 1 month and were analyzed using SPSS software. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship among the study variables (Talent Management and Employee Engagement: r = 0.61, p ≤ .01; Organisation Culture and Employee Engagement: r = 0.67, p ≤ .01) Regression analysis showed that 50% of the variance in engagement can be attributed to Talent Management and Organisation Culture. The researcher recommended that organisations should implement talent management practices and have a culture based on shared values and beliefs. Organisations should also have continuous skills development of employees by carrying out relevant trainings for the employees. The researcher suggested that a comparative study on the same variables be carried out in other organisations and the same variables should be studied over a period of time to test validity. The researcher concluded that organisations should be committed and support a curiosity to learn among the employees.
