Stress Management

Introduction

Stress means different things to different people. In an uncomplicated way, it is best to consider stress as something that involves the interaction of the individual with his environment. Stress is the product of misfit between the individual and his environment. This misfit may be in any area of adjustment, namely, family, social, health, education, occupation, etc. These boundaries of stress areas are often artificial ones. One can transgress into any area, any time.

The consequences of stress could be devastating. However, at the same time, it (stress) is an essential part of life. Stress not only arouses us to action, but also energizes us for continued effort.

The main focus of the present workshop is on the management of stress in such a way that coping with stress becomes easier and productive materially, socially as well as professionally. A company’s program that helps the employees to manage their stress is in its (company’s) own interest because a stress free workforce will eventually add to the company’s effectiveness and profitability.
