Indian Workforce: High Confidence, Low Job Satisfaction; Stress a Major Factor

• A ManpowerGroup India report reveals 95% of Indian employees are confident in their skills, but only 64% are satisfied with their jobs.
• Despite high confidence in career growth (90%) and AI adoption (90%), job satisfaction remains low due to uncertainty about future roles.
• Stress is a significant concern, with 53% experiencing moderate to high stress daily, primarily due to excessive workload and long hours.
• 75% of employees report work pressure affecting mental well-being, leading many to seek new opportunities discreetly.
• Blue-collar workers, Gen Z women, and employees in Energy & Utility sectors show the lowest well-being; job security concerns are high in Healthcare, Finance, and Real Estate.

Why It Matters: High employee confidence in India contrasts with low job satisfaction, driven by stress and uncertainty.
