It was a system of colonization used by the empire of Spain.
When the Spanish conquered the natives in the Caribbean, South America, and later the Philippines, these natives were required to pay tribute or perform work for Spanish landowners. In return the Native Americans would receive protection from other tribes, education, and Christianity.
This worked greatly in the favor of the Spanish colonists who received the trusteeship over the people (an encomendado), but was little better than involuntary servitude for many native tribes.

The Spanish implemented the encomienda system when they first arrived on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. After they realized that the number of products to exploit were not as plentiful as they hoped, they went to Central (and South) America, where they carried on the encomienda system on the conquered minorities who helped them retrieve silver.
It was just replaced by the Hacienda system.
