Studies Reveal Rising Workplace Stress and Mental Health Challenges in IndiaPreviousNext

Recent studies highlight a growing mental health and wellness crisis among India's urban workforce, driven by an 'always on' work culture. Nearly 80% of employees face disengagement or burnout, with women reporting higher stress levels. Mental wellness service usage has surged, especially among younger workers, though psychological safety remains a concern. Additionally, despite increased sleep duration, many professionals experience poor recovery due to continuous digital stimulation and stress, impacting productivity and health.
