Stress Management
The term ‘stress’ refers to a state of mental pressure or tension. When working with other people, it is common to feel
stressed. Since there are people with varying personalities working in a team, it can cause stress for everyone. In such
instances, stress management becomes critical for everyone's health and well-being. Stress management refers to the
various methods of dealing with stress in order to feel healthy, cheerful, and refreshed.
People cope up with stress in a variety of ways:
• Taking a walk in the park
• Participating in a physical activity such as running, swimming, etc.
• Deep breathing techniques
• Meditation or yoga
Perseverance
Perseverance is the capacity to keep going even when things are challenging. Let us understand it from the true story
of Anuj Mundhra.
Anuj Mundhra is the founder of Jaipurkurti.com, that manufactures and sells suits, kurtis, fusion wear, and a host of other
apparel items. The B2C company even exports to countries such as the UK, US, Australia, Malaysia and a few others. Anuj
started the business in 2012 with very limited resources and pooled in ` 50,000 from close friends and later took a loan
from the bank to seed his business. Anuj began with ten sewing machines for sewing kurtis and suits. Vandana Mundra,
his wife, would design kurtis, that were then coloured, printed, stitched, sampled, and so on in a manufacturing unit in
Jaipur's Kartarpur Industrial Area. Anuj got listed on Snapdeal and Jabong and started selling in-house manufactured
items on these platforms. In the first year itself, the company clocked a turnover of ` 59 lakh. Anuj claims that, while there
was less competition in the early years, running an online company was a huge challenge.
After reading Anuj’s story, you realise that perseverance can be built in the following ways:
• Never giving up when faced with a difficult situation
• Working hard to achieve your goal
• Learning from failures
Valuing Service and Diversity
A diverse workforce contains people from various backgrounds, experiences, and opinions. When a company embraces
and fosters diversity, it may bring a number of benefits to the organization as a whole.
The wide range of viewpoints and experiences that a diverse team brings to the table is one of the most evident
benefits. As employees can approach challenges from numerous perspectives, this can lead to more original solutions
and creative ideas. A diverse team can also result in improved problem-solving and decision-making since employees
are more willing to consider all sides of an issue.
A diverse workforce has the potential to boost employee engagement and job satisfaction. Employees are more likely
to be motivated and productive when they feel valued and included. This can also result in a more stable staff which
benefits the organization in terms of cost and consistency.
