Broken Minds, Broken Profits: The Impact of Workplace Stress on Employee Productivity and Mental Health in Indian Industries.

Author(s) Archie Mutta, Anushka Varma, Srishti Srivastava
Country India
Abstract The issue of workplace stress has become a serious concern within Indian industries, negatively impacting employee wellbeing, retention and overall productivity of the organisation. Despite the increased awareness, the mental health support available in workplace environments continues to be superficial or inconsistent. This paper highlights the systemic, psychological and cultural factors that sustain chronic stress and burnout in corporate and IT workspaces in India. Using recent survey data, empirical research and evidence from organisational psychological frameworks like Karasek’s Job-Demand Control Model and Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Theory, the paper shows how long hours, unrealistic deadlines and poor management practice undermine motivation, absenteeism and attrition. Subsequent data from national and organisational reports showed that over 60% of employees in India experience significant levels of stress, which creates a multi-million dollar hit to company financial and human capital. The research makes the case for urgently needed systemic interventions relating to autonomy, work-life balance and digital wellness programs to create psychologically safe and resilient workplaces. To be clear, the case for addressing workplace stress is not only a moral obligation, but it is also a key strategy for building sustainability in profitability and human capital retention.
