59% of Indian employees are burned out, says new study
Almost 60% of Indian employees are showing signs of burnout, mostly thanks to long hours, constant stress, and a tough work-life balance.
The study points to a growing mental health crisis in corporate India.
Why does this matter?
Burnout isn't just about feeling tired—it's causing significant attrition and turnover among employees.
Over half blame poor work-life balance, and more than one in five regularly works overtime.
This is costing businesses up to $350 billion every year through lost productivity and people leaving.
What needs to change?
Burnout is fueling mental health problems and even substance abuse.
Experts say companies need real, ongoing mental health support—not just surface-level wellness perks—to help people stay healthy at work.
Addressing this could boost both employee happiness and the economy in a big way.
