Employee Engagement – India tops the charts, butthat’s not the full storyJul 13, 2015 190 views 25 Likes 0 Comments

Employee Engagement is a top of the mind issue for senior executives, and

especially HR, for some time now. Given today’s dynamic, competitive and

complex business environment, organizations have realized that in order to stay

relevant they need highly engaged employees.

A recent report by Dale Carnegie Training shows that Indian employees are more

engaged than their global counterparts. The report states that the number of fully

engaged working professionals in the Indian workforce stands at 46% while the

global average for the same is 34% and that of the US is at 30%.

The survey conducted by Dale Carnegie Training in conjunction with NHRDN,

surveyed more than 1200 executives, individual contributors, managers and chief

officers across the country in 2014. The primary objective of the survey was not

only to find out the engagement levels but also to identify what influenced it. The

key factors were:

The relationship with the immediate Supervisor

Belief in Senior Leadership

Pride in the Organization

The report also identifies the level of higher education as a parameter that

directly impacts employee engagement. The India study revealed that the average

level of education in India currently is much higher than those participating in

the US study, which may have been a reason why India’s data was better.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

61% of the respondents were willing to work extra hours without any

additional remunerative incentive

Employees from the Healthcare sector were the most engaged

Those from local government and education sectors were the least engaged

Larger companies, those with more than 100,000 employees had more

actively engaged employees compared with smaller companies with an

employee strength of 100 to 501

76% of those working a long tenure of 15 and more years were highly engaged

71% of employees with an annual income of over 1 crore were highly engaged

15% in the income range of 1.5 to 3 lakh per annum were most disengaged

30% of engaged employees indicated that they would stay in their current

organization even if offered a 50% salary increase by a competitor

58% exhibited pride in the company that they were working for

While these numbers do present a relatively good picture in India, the fact

remains that 54% of the Indian workforce is somewhat dissatisfied with their job.

According to a study by the Indian Council for Research on International

Economic Relations, India’s “rapid economic expansion has boosted corporate

profits and employee incomes, but has also sparked a surge in workplace stress”;

and stress has been known to impact employee engagement and productivity

levels. This makes it quite clear that today, organizations must take creative

initiatives to boost engagement.

Ensuring correct work allocation with realistic timelines, encouraging work life

balance, promoting employee wellness and implementing a positive work culture

are just some of the things organizations
