© Forrester Research, Inc. All rights reserved. Executive Summary Indeed commissioned Forrester to explore employee wellbeing across the globe. In India, Forrester surveyed 2,132 employees to understand their current wellbeing at work, as well as wellbeing beliefs and how these beliefs affected their performance, productivity, and retention. For the purpose of this study, an employee has high wellbeing or is “thriving“ if they indicate: 1) having a clear sense of purpose, 2) feeling satisfied with their job, 3) feeling happy most of the time, and 4) not feeling stressed at work most of the time. These four key indicators align with Forrester and Oxford expertise around work wellbeing.1 In India, we found the following: 1. Just 24% of employees in India are thriving at work. This means 76% of employees are not thriving, which significantly affects performance, the decision to stay or look elsewhere, and employees’ overall life satisfaction. These numbers are on par with the average of countries included in this study. 2. Employees who are thriving have significantly higher retention metrics, and happy employees are significantly more productive than those who are not. 3. Employees who are thriving cite they feel energized, are a part of an inclusive/respectful environment, and have a manager who helps them succeed. They are also more likely to indicate their employer measures wellbeing, prioritizes wellbeing over profit, and believes that employee wellbeing leads to business success. 4. 78% of surveyed employees in India say their expectations around work wellbeing are the same or higher now versus just a year ago. However, employees don’t believe wellbeing is a priority for senior leaders or their company.
