According to an Employee Engagement Whitepaper released by Dale Carnegie Training India, while just 39 per cent of women were fully engaged, Indian male workers were way ahead with half of them feeling engaged with their work.
"Several HR functions even have gender diversity targets. But the real challenge continues to be high dropout rates and every level of the hierarchy and eventually the glass ceiling," Dale Carnegie Training India Chairperson and MD Pallavi Jha said.
"In order to understand how to retain women and grow them it is imperative that organisations look at engagement more holistically," Jha added.
When it came to the various designations, women at the C-suite level were the most motivated with 63 per cent being fully engaged, while 42 per cent of the women at managerial level were fully engaged and for women in professional jobs like attorney, engineer, sales only 18 per cent were fully engaged at work.
