Army officers given lessons on stress management

Chandigarh, Mar 17 (UNI) A workshop on stress management was conducted for army officers at Chandimandir Military station today.

Col (Retd) Gursewak Singh, a renowned speaker on stress management, highlighted the need for officers to add a personal touch in attending to the grievances of men under their command and at the same time, ensuring healthy breaks for men from routine tasks and commitments.

He further advised them that due importance should be given to job satisfaction and job enrichment. This in turn would help in reducing the monotonous nature of duties being undertaken by the personnel.

He also stressed upon the Japanese way of management, whereby the officers should understand the fact that there are human beings working under them. "These human beings are very much affected by each and every thing which is with them and around them. Thus, in order to manage stress effectively and efficiently, the officers must take a strong cognizance of each and every factor with which a human being is affected," Col Singh said.
