India’s manufacturing sector is increasingly being recognized as a great place to work, with workplace satisfaction rising to 87%, according to a report by Great Place To Work. The report highlights a shift toward prioritizing employee well-being alongside technological advancements as companies move toward Industry 5.0.
“As the industry advances, the focus extends beyond automation to fostering workplaces that support employees’ well-being. Organizations are addressing concerns such as burnout by improving work-life balance, making leadership more approachable, and enhancing employee engagement,” said Balbir Singh, CEO of Great Place To Work, India.
The study found that leading organizations are cultivating trust and psychological safety, which significantly improves employee retention. Employees who feel valued are 2.7 times more likely to remain with their companies. To meet evolving challenges, companies are implementing initiatives such as regular feedback mechanisms, fair task distribution, and flexible work arrangements.
The report also highlights that businesses have introduced extended paid leave, career development programs, and wellness benefits, including zero-interest loans and expanded support systems, to meet the diverse needs of their workforce. Among the top-ranked manufacturing workplaces recognized for their strong organizational culture and employee satisfaction are Apollo Tyres, Orient Cement, Tata Steel India, Amara Raja Power Systems, Sula Vineyards, and Bajaj Energy.
