Indians don't feel 'engaged' at work: Gallup

According to the 2012 Gallup research, a record high of 31 percent of Indian adults - or about 240 million Indians - rate their lives poorly enough to be considered 'suffering'; this is against 24 percent 'suffering' in 2011. Further, engagement in Indian workplaces is also a concern, with 8 percent of Indians who are employed for an employer being engaged, versus 32 percent being 'actively disengaged'.

Based on the Cantril Self Anchoring Striving Scale, Gallup classifies respondents as 'thriving', 'struggling' or 'suffering', according to how they rate their current and future lives on a ladder scale with steps numbered from 0 to 10. Gallup considers people to be suffering if they rate their current lives and their lives in five years at a 4 or lower.
