Friends ! Here are some hard facts, please read them carefully & decide why a Stress Management Package is of great importance .1. Time magazine’s June 6, 1983 cover story referred to stress as The Epidemic of the 80’s. Numerous surveys since then have all the more confirmed this and also show that the problem is progressively escalating. 2. Corporations recognize that Stress Management Programs are extremely cost effective bottom line. They not only by increasing efficiency & worker turnover, but also by reducing absenteeism, health expenses and litigation, thus improving productivity and the stress induced problems. 3. A study in US reveals that companies who addressed the problem of Stress well in time have brought about an upward trend in their profit graphs by more than 30 percent. 4. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of doctor visits are related to stress-induced illnesses. Heart problems, blood pressure, increased palpitations, insomnia, allergy, headache, backache, indigestion, exhaustion, anxiety, dejection, frustration, indecisiveness, impatience, hostility, strained relationships, escapism etc. are all some of the common are not directly stress induced then also stress certainly acts as a catalyst to flare them up further and thus complicate the whole problem. 5. Unions and workers are jumping on the stress bandwagon because of the growing financial awards for job stress related injuries. 6.

A Holistic approach is called for to understand & handle this complex problem. 8.
