Exclusive research uncovering the relationship between employee engagement, workforce productivity and business performance in India.
India is experiencing one of the most significant workforce transformations in its history.
As organizations navigate rapid growth, evolving employee expectations, increasing skills demands and intense competition for talent, leaders are being challenged to answer a critical question:
What truly drives workforce performance in modern India?
To explore this question, Edenred surveyed HRs and business leaders across India, examining the relationship between employee engagement and business performance. The findings reveal important opportunities for organizations looking to strengthen productivity, improve employee experience and sustain long-term growth.
Inside The Study
This report explores some of the most important workforce questions facing Indian organizations today:
- How workforce expectations are evolving and what this means for the future of work.
- Why productivity has emerged as one of the top priorities for HR leaders and the role engagement plays in achieving it.
- Understanding the underlying drivers of employee motivation, recognition and workplace connection.
- Exploring how communication, rewards, development, wellbeing and culture work together to influence workforce outcomes.
- The growing importance of employee listening, feedback and measurement in building high-performing organizations.
What Makes This Research Different?
Most discussions around employee engagement focus on employee sentiment. This study takes a different approach. Rather than asking whether engagement matters, it explores:
- How engagement influences business performance
- Which workforce challenges are having the greatest organizational impact
- What types of employee initiatives deliver the strongest outcomes
- Why some organizations consistently outperform others across key workforce metrics
The result is a business-focused perspective on employee engagement backed by insights from Indian HR and business leaders.
