Managing Stress and Wellbeing

Karoshi is a Japanese word for death by overwork. The ever-increasing pressure for ‘rise- and-grind’ or ‘Hustle’ has started to have a devastating impact on the physical, emotional and mental health of the employees. ILO says that 51% of Indian employees work for long hours, and according to CII, 62% surveyed employees reported work-related stress and burnout. While companies have been prioritizing the mental health issues and taking appropriate measures, coping strategies at the individual, interpersonal and group levels will remain the main thrust to address the epidemic of stress. Recognizing this challenge, this executive programme is curated to understand the nature of stress, early signs, the triggers, the available resources and creating an ecosystem that helps an employee manage it effectively.

At the end of the stress management and well-being programme, the participants would be able to understand the causes of their stress, their response, and its effect on their well- being. While they would be able to appreciate the role of the personality, group or environment in causing the stress, they would be equipped with techniques to manage stress. Our focus will be to help curate an actionable intervention for each participant to achieve well-being and happiness.

Among various pedagogical options, the programme intends to use experiential learning, mainly emphasizing learning by doing. Other approaches will be:

Management Games

Experience Sharing

Discussion

Role-Playing

The programme is designed for every manager who is engaged in a task that is physically and psychologically demanding. Someone who has to drive the performance through a team despite a challenging environment.
