Desks, Chairs and Targets: Where's the well-being?

Our gradual progress in using Playback in different projects is reaping reinforcing rewards. More recently in June this year, we tied up with the ‘Ek-Prana’ Foundation to work on ‘Stress Management and Well Being’ at the offices of Teamwork Arts. Our session was an inauguration into a day where ‘Ek-Prana’ Foundation spoke about maintaining one’s physical and mental health in today’s tough work environment. The Playback session opened up participants into talking about the conflicts between office and personal responsibilities through the kind of pressures that exist today. Some stories were riveting. An employee spoke about his conundrum of creating a comfortable domestic life. He revealed the pressure of meeting targets in the office that ultimately decide his professional career. To add to that the rising concern for the environment which directly translates into costs like purchasing a car, buying a house and moving out of an urban area. Moreover, his parents are now urging him to get married soon. After the actors were done portraying this story through facets, the teller was speechless. All he said was 'Wow' and left the seat with a lot to ponder, as he added later. If you are a corporate, wanting to work on aspects of work like ‘teambuilding’, ‘work-life balance’, ‘Sexual Harassment at Workspace’ and more, do get in touch with us at office@yuvaektafoundation.org.
