A Study of Inclusivity and Well-being at Workplace with Reference to Industrial Employees

Abstract

Inclusivity is a policy of an organization to welcome, to accept and value all types of people irrespective of their religion, race, language or gender. Inclusion means the members of the society feel that they are valued, respected and included in the organization regardless of their background. They have the same opportunities as others and they are not overlooked or excluded. Well-being is defined as more than just the absence of mental illness; it is a holistic state of flourishing personal growth, encompassing high life satisfaction, positive emotions and deep sense of a meaningful life. The main aim of the present study is to examine the level of inclusivity and feeling of well-being of employees in the organization. A sample of 40 workers and 40 supervisors in all 80 respondents were selected at random from industries situated at Anand. Inclusive mindset and behavior assessment scale (2024) was used to measure inclusivity and the Mental Well-being scale constructed by Warwick-Edinburg (2006) was used to measure feeling of well-being. Frequency, mean core and 't' test was applied for the analysis of the data and to examine the level of inclusivity and the level of well-being prevailing among industrial employees. In the present study it was found that workers were experiencing less level of inclusivity compared to supervisors. Similarly, supervisors have shown higher level of well-being.
