Let’s be honest, most Indian techies aren’t working 9-to-5.
It’s more like 9-to-9.
Studies show the average IT employee spends 10–12 hours a day at work.
Yet when asked if they feel valued, less than 20% say yes.
What does this mean?
⚠️Hard work isn’t translating into appreciation.
⚠️ Engagement is dropping despite long hours.
⚠️ People feel replaceable, not recognized.
When employees don’t feel valued, it leads to:
❌ Higher attrition
❌ Silent disengagement
❌ Declining productivity
The solution isn’t complicated.
A simple “thank you,” recognition in meetings, or fair appraisals can go a long way.
Because at the end of the day, people don’t just work for money. They work for meaning.
Do you feel truly valued in your workplace? Or is appreciation missing where you work?
