To celebrate the international Yoga day 2016, Dr. Pammi Sesha Srinivas presented an awareness workshop session at Intel India campus, Bengaluru on the topic "Work related stress- Health – Yoga based
methods" for IT Professionals .
Background and brief about the session :-
Across the globe, understanding and managing work
related stress is one of the much researched topic in the recent times. The current research also targets at increasing productivity for organizations as well as enhancing well-being for
the workforce. Work related stress can occur when there exits
imbalance between - demands posed by the job and resources and capabilities of the
worker to meet those demands( Cooper, 1981). When work related stress is experienced
for prolonged times, it negatively effects the health of the worker
as well as the productivity of the
organizations. Yoga, being one of the six
systems of Indian Philosophy (‘Shaddarshanas’), helps to enhance
the physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of the individual. By inculcating and enhancing wellbeing , yoga based methods can help to reduce/overcome the negative effects of work related stress for professionals.
