Wellness at work: How Indian companies are shaping employee happiness
India TodayCorporate initiatives are undergoing a transformative shift, with employee well-being no longer regarded as merely a "perk" or added benefit. Companies are increasingly recognising that fostering holistic well-being is essential not only for employee engagement but also for boosting retention, enhancing productivity, and shaping a positive company culture. According to LinkedIn's Global Talent Trends Report, 74 percent of employees are seeking more meaning in their work, and participating in karma-driven initiatives, such as volunteering or charitable donations, enhances their sense of purpose. Shantanu Rooj, Founder and CEO, TeamLease Edtech said, organisations today are shifting towards a more holistic approach to employee well-being, which goes beyond just mental and physical health. On similar lines, Navneet Singh, Founder & CEO of Avsar, states that karma-driven initiatives have a significant positive effect on workers' well-being by encouraging a feeling of community, purpose, and personal development.
