Re: A - Z of Stress Management

Its really a good and useful article for stress management.  But I think, not only employees, employers should also workout for stress management for their staff.

I have seen in Indian companies to force employees to seat after office hours and complete work.  Once in while its OK, but it should not turn into culture of company.  If you give 100% of your output during regular office hours, no need to seat after office hours.  If emplyees are forced to present after office hours, they miss their families, play with their children, activities like going for music class, gym whatever in which they enjoy.  The activities in which emplyee feels happy will help him in worklife balance.  So after all, somewhere employers are also responsible for stress work life.

Being in to HR, we should guide management in reight direction for work - life balance and make the environment employee - management friendly.

Re: A - Z of Stress Management

wonderful...i think this is the most needed thing nowadays for anybody irrespective of their age or profession. The most important among all which i found is abt takin time for ourselves...whole day we keep doin things for somebody or another be it our organizations, boss, friends ,parents , spouse  but hardly give  exclusive time to our own selves...n whn we ourselves don't care abt ourselves how can we expect other to do so....so plz find time for ownself....fall in love with you, pamaper yourself...do the things tht you wnat to do n not for anyone else...it would be alife long romance...

score high on self efficacy...
