Majority of employees Experiences Poor Workplace Well Being initiative by their employers in Indian Corporates : Survey Report
Workplace wellbeing is a must in today’s work environment for organizations to be more competitive and successful. However, according to a survey conducted by Indeed and Forrester Consulting, the majority of corporate employees are subjected to poor workplace well-being initiatives by their companies.
Only 24% of workers in Indian enterprises report high levels of workplace wellbeing, whereas more than three-quarters of all employees in Indian businesses report low levels.
However, according to a combined study performed by Indeed and Forrester Consulting, low levels of workplace wellbeing are not limited to India. This problem is widespread, as study results show that Indian firms are practically identical to the global average of prospering employees, which stands at 25%.
According to the conclusions of the University of Oxford Wellness Research Centre’s paper titled ‘Work Wellbeing In India 2023 paper: How Thriving People Create Thriving Companies,’ employees who are considered to be thriving at work possess specific attributes.
These features include increased job satisfaction, decreased work-related stress, increased levels of positivity and pleasure, and a well-defined sense of purpose within their organizational tasks.
Poor wellbeing is often a sign of leadership issues
According to the report, more than 67% of employees believe their employers are responsible for their job satisfaction. Such workplace characteristics include a sense of inclusivity, acceptance, interactions marked by respect, and the availability of helpful management.
A large majority (93%) believe that their managers demonstrate empathic leadership, with 87% believing that their managers set an example through their actions. However, as large workplace culture studies in India show, such incidents are still rare.
According to 69% of polled employees, senior leadership in their organizations expects staff to take on additional responsibilities outside their defined duties.
Recruiters face a generational challenge with Gen-Z
The survey results also show a significant generational shift in employees’ opinions on well-being. The number of thriving employees in the Gen-Z (aged 18 to 26) category is lower (20%) than in the Millennial (24%) and Gen-X (27%).
Furthermore, older employees are more confident in their companies’ ability to prioritize employee well-being. 67% of Generation Z say that their bosses associate well-being and happiness with commercial success.
For Millennials and Generation X, the figures were 78% and 74%, respectively. This disparity poses substantial issues for HR and recruitment managers, as more than 88% believe it is crucial to work for firms that care about how they make them feel.
“Workplace wellbeing is an important part of our daily lives, whether we work remotely or in the office.” “Our findings indicate that the emphasis on workplace well-being will only grow in the future,” said Sashi Kumar, Head of Sales at Indeed India.
