Gallup Global Workplace report earmarks 14% employees as 'Thriving' & rests as 'Struggling'
The release of Global Workplace report by Gallup has revealed a jaw-dropping information about the employees and their works. The report reveals that, only 14% of Indian employees feel they are “thriving” in life, while others admit to “struggling” or “suffering”. On the other side, the report also revealed that, 34% employees worldwide feel that they are “thriving”. 
The report has conducted a survey, where, Gallup classified respondents into three categories of wellbeing - thriving, struggling or suffering. The respondents, who had a positive view of their present life situation - rating it 7 or higher - as well as a positive outlook for the next five years, were classified as “thriving”.
The respondents who had an uncertain or negative view of their present life situation, with more daily stress and financial worries, were classified as “struggling.” 
Those who admitted to feeling miserable (4 and below rating on best life present), along with a negative view of the future, were said to be struggling. Gallup in their report explained, “They are more likely to report that they lack the basics of food and shelter and more likely to have physical pain and a lot of stress, worry, sadness and anger. They have less access to health insurance and care and more than double the disease burden compared with thriving respondents,”
When it comes to India, the company has noticed that, only 14% of Indians feel they are thriving, while the other 86% admit to struggling or suffering.
It is not only the case of India, but the whole part of South Asia that reported the lowest percentage of thriving employees. Only 15% of respondents from South Asia classified themselves as thriving – 19% points lower than the global average.
In a press release the company noted, “This trend is true across all countries in the region surveyed, with India reporting the second-highest rate of thriving at only 14%, behind Nepal at 22%.”
35% of the Indian employees believe that, they are experiencing daily anger - more than any other country in South Asia. Besides, India ranked lowest among South Asian countries in terms of stress as only 32% of respondents said they experienced daily stress, as compared to 62% in Sri Lanka and 58% in Afghanistan.
Luckily, India maintained a high employee engagement rate of 32%, well above the global average of 23%.
