In today’s fast-paced and demanding work environments, stress has become a silent productivity killer. To address this growing concern, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Ghaziabad conducted a Management Development Program (MDP) on “Stress Management for Working Professionals” on March 22, 2025 in virtual mode.
The MDP was led by esteemed faculty members Dr. Devi Archana Mohanty and Ms. Sarika Malhotra, and was attended by professionals from reputed organizations including Barclays and Samsung.
Objective of the Program: The core objective of the MDP was to help working professionals understand and manage stress through practical tools, techniques, and strategies, enhancing their overall well-being, resilience, and productivity.
With tight deadlines, high expectations, and the constant juggling of professional and personal responsibilities, stress has become inevitable. This program focused on helping participants:
- Identify stress triggers at the workplace

Structure & Content of the MDP: The program was formally inaugurated with a welcome address by Prof. Rashmi Bhatia (Dean Academics), who emphasized the relevance of such programs in today’s corporate landscape.
The MDP consisted of three engaging sessions, delivered through a blend of interactive discussions, case studies, group activities, and hands-on exercises. Key highlights included:
- Understanding Workplace Stress: Causes and impact on health and performance

By combining theoretical knowledge with experiential learning, the MDP enabled participants to apply stress-relief methods in real-world situations.
