The objective was to examine the relationship between workload, employee engagement and somatic complaints among private sector employees in both males and females. Motivation for the research came from the understanding that many work related factors negatively impact employees' well-being. A correlational research design was used. Survey method was conducted among 100 employees in private organisations. The measuring instruments included Physical symptom inventory Scale, Quantitative Workload Inventory and Gallup Q12 questionnaire. Statistically significant relationship was found between employee engagement and somatic complaints among females. The t-test score showed males to be more engaged than females and females reported more somatic complaints then males. The implication of the research is that interventions that focus on enhancing employees' physical and psychological health will contribute to the engagement of employees. This research contributes to the knowledge that organisations must adopt female adapting working conditions and strategies at workplace.
