How connected are Indian employees to their work, teams, leaders, and organisations?
More importantly — what will define a truly engaged workforce in India by 2026?

Every year, Gallup studies employee engagement across organisations globally, uncovering critical insights into workplace culture, leadership effectiveness, employee motivation, and organisational performance.

As India enters a defining decade of growth and transformation, organisations must move beyond traditional management approaches and build workplaces driven by purpose, trust, inclusion, and high performance.

To capture this evolving leadership perspective, the Institute of Directors (IOD), India🇮🇳, in collaboration with Gallup, is conducting an important national survey on Employee Engagement in India.

We invite Board Members, Independent Directors, CXOs, HR Leaders, business heads, and senior professionals to participate and share their perspectives.

📊 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞:
✔ The future of employee engagement in India
✔ Leadership and workplace transformation strategies
✔ Organisational culture and talent priorities
✔ High-performance and people-centric governance practices
✔ The evolving role of boards in building resilient organisations

💡This is more than a survey — it is an opportunity to contribute to a national leadership dialogue that will help shape the future of work and organisational excellence in India.
