 "Indians most highly engaged and satisfied workers across the globe")
India has the highest proportion of highly engaged workers, which stands at 28 per cent, and the fewest disengaged of any country, according to Steelcase Inc's Global Workplace Report based on a survey covering 12,480 office workers in 17 countries.
The study by the workplace solutions provider uncovered a correlation between employees' attitudes about their workplace and their level of engagement. One of the key findings is that one-third of workers in 17 of the world's most important economies are disengaged.
The report says that employees who are highly satisfied with their work environment are also the most highly engaged and vice versa. Employee engagement is a serious bottom-line issue affecting several organisations today across the globe resulting in low productivity.
According to the Steelcase study, 73 per cent of Indians say their work environment allows them to feel relaxed and calm, which is significantly higher than in most other countries. Forty-three per cent of Indians have the most access to sports or exercise facilities as compared to the other countries (22 per cent).
