Seminar on stress
management held
Mohali, October 14 Dr Waraich said human resource managers who worked to motivate their staff to compete with other companies successfully, it was important to be able to manage inefficiency and absenteeism early. This could only happen if the managers were able to recognise the strengths of their team members, utilise their resources effectively, build inter-employee camaraderie and keep communication channels open. She added that increasing stress led to behavioural, physiological, emotional and cognitive effects in the form of increased eating, alcohol and drug abuse etc. all of which led to decreased efficiency and productivity. Mr Varinder K. Verma,
honorary secretary, NIPM, said the seminar was among a series of seminars being organised as a part of the silver jubilee celebrations.
