India’s next chapter of growth will be shaped not only by investment, technology and market opportunity, but also by the quality of leadership that turns those drivers into sustained performance and long-term prosperity. As businesses navigate technological disruption, geopolitical uncertainty and rising stakeholder scrutiny, the ability to align people around a shared purpose and enable them to perform at their best has become one of the defining responsibilities of corporate leadership.
The Institute of Directors has partnered with Gallup to examine exactly this. Drawing on Gallup's research into India's workplaces, the perspectives of around 200 IOD members, and extensive conversations with senior leaders, the resulting report, Rebuilding Indian Workplaces for the Future, offers a candid picture of how engagement, culture and management are shifting beneath the surface of Indian organisations.
This webinar takes that conversation further: A closer, sharper look at what the data means for boards and the leaders.

IOD members citing culture misalignment
A primary factor behind “quiet quitting”
These four numbers describe an organisation losing its managers; disengaging faster than employees, and culture slipping out of alignment with what leadership believes it stands for.
Engagement is usually discussed as an HR metric. This webinar argues it should be read as a leading indicator of retention risk, culture drift and, ultimately, performance for board members, independent directors and senior leaders responsible for organisational oversight, that reframing is the reason to be in the room.
1. What is weakening employees’ psychological commitment?
2. What conditions do stretched managers need in order to lead effectively?
3. What can senior leaders change upstream to strengthen manager engagement?
4. Where does the lived culture contradict the stated culture?
5. What management practices, distinguish teams that sustain both strong engagement and performance?
