Conclusions: Results suggest that a brief workplace stress management intervention can
produce clinically significant reductions in BP and improve emotional health among hypertensive
employees. Implications are that such interventions may produce a healthier and more productive
workforce,
enhancing performance and reducing losses to the organization resulting from cognitive decline,
illness, and premature mortality.

STRESS NOT ALWAYS UNHEALTHY: TEAM LEASE STUDY
According to Surabhi Mathur-Gandhi, General Manager, Permanent Staffing, Team Lease Services,
“The popular notion of stress as a negative force that causes discontentment and discord may be dated. Our
survey captures the bittersweet - but mostly sweet – feelings around workplace stress and coping
mechanisms that probably represent the youthification of India’s workforce.
The survey respondents included employees across the cities of Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi,
Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune. The respondents’ profile ranged between the age group of 30-
45 years across industries and functions of sales, marketing, business development, operations, finance,
admin/HR and systems (IT).

This research is based on corporate stress epidemic giving stress on international problem and
stating the fact that humour can be a way to reduce stress.
It has been estimated that 20% to 50% of the average American worker’s day is
wasted due to stress, boredom or general malaise on the job.
The United States is not the only country coping with increased levels of job stress but other countries
like UK, Japan, Europe, Switzerland are also facing the same thing.
The experience of a rapidly growing number of companies has shown that humor and fun on the job
support peak levels of job performance. This finding is supported by decades of research in
psychology showing that while a moderate
amount of tension, anxiety, or stress can boost performance, it progressively interferes
with performance as tension gets higher than this moderate level.
