In an organisation, stressful work environment takes a heavy toll on the efficiency and overall wellbeing of its employees. It is more so in an industrial setup like the Nalco, which is pitted against global players of high calibre on the one hand and the vagaries of international market on the other.
So, to unwind its employees and enhance productivity, the Nalco has started a stress management exercise at the beginning of the present fiscal.
In this context, a two-day workshop for top management concluded at the company’s HRD Centre of Excellence here on Thursday. This Self Management of Excessive Tension (SMET) workshop, based on Yoga and Vedic principles, was conducted by Padma Shri Dr HR Nagendra, Chancellor, S-VYASA University and subject expert Dr RM Acharya, in which Nalco Directors, Executive Directors and General Managers participated.
Nalco CMD Dr Tapan Kumar Chand said, “Similar workshops will be organided across the company establishments to strike a work-life balance and rejuvenate our human capital.” The Navratna company is fully focussed on enhancing the happiness quotient and ensuring wholesome growth of its human resources for better results in the present fiscal, he said.
“For us, minding the machines and machining the minds, both are equally important. In fact, the output of a machine can be quantified and measured, but the power of a man behind the machine, if tapped, can yield amazing results,” Dr Chand added.
Nalco Independent Director Dipankar Mahanta had taken the initiatives in coordinating the workshop.
