A joint report by Indeed and Forrester Consulting has found that only 24% of employees in Indian organisations experience high levels of wellbeing at their workplaces. Over 67% of employees believe their employer holds responsibility for their work wellbeing. These workplaces are marked by inclusivity, acceptance, respectful interactions, and supportive management. A significant majority (93%) report their managers exhibit empathetic leadership, with 87% indicating they lead by example.
The aim of the “Work Wellbeing in India 2023 Report: How Thriving People Create Thriving Companies” was to gauge employee wellbeing data and assess their influence on aspects such as job performance, workplace efficiency, and staff retention in organisations.
However, such instances are infrequent, as indicated by extensive studies on workplace culture in India. Around 69% of surveyed employees noted that senior leadership in their organisations expects them to take on additional responsibilities beyond their designated roles.

“Wellbeing at work is an integral part of our daily lives, whether we’re working remotely or in the office. Our findings indicate that emphasis on wellbeing at work will only increase going forward.”Said Sashi Kumar, Head of Sales, Indeed India.
The survey findings exhibit a noticeable generational shift in employee attitudes toward wellbeing. Among the Gen-Z group (18 to 26-year-olds), fewer individuals thrive at work (20%) in comparison to older millennials (24%) and Gen-X (27%).
Older employees also exhibit more confidence in their employers’ capacity to prioritise employee wellbeing. Among Gen-Z, 67% believe their employers associate wellbeing and happiness with business success, while the figures for millennials and Gen-X were 78% and 74%, respectively.
