In 2024, only 14% of Indian employees feel they are "thriving" in life, in stark contrast to 34% of employees worldwide.
The report by Gallup examines employee mental health and well-being at a global level, classifying respondents as thriving, struggling, or suffering based on the Life Evaluation Index.
In the survey, those rating their present life situation as 7 or higher and having a positive outlook for the next five years were classified as "thriving."
Respondents with an uncertain or negative view of their present life situation were considered "struggling."
Those feeling miserable and having a negative view of the future were also classified as "struggling."
Gallup noted that those in the struggling category reported experiencing more challenges and health issues compared to those classified as thriving.
