The recent, tragic loss of employees due to work-related stress paints a grim picture of a workplace culture that is dangerously out of balance. With stress levels reaching a breaking point, it’s clear that half-hearted measures are no longer enough. Simply urging managers to be more observant isn’t cutting it. Organizations must undergo a seismic shift in their approach, prioritizing regular wellness checks and creating genuine channels for employee feedback.
Navaneet Mishra, Senior Vice President & Head of Hexagon’s R&D Center India, advocates for skip-level meetings as a crucial strategy to break down barriers. “Employees must feel safe voicing stress-related concerns,” he asserts. “We need to eliminate the hierarchies that stifle honest communication.”
Anitha Sarathy, India Head of People and Culture at Encora Inc, sees the tragic reports linking work stress to fatalities as a wake-up call. “This is a bold reminder that organizations must prioritize mental well-being,” she declares. Encora has adopted regular wellness surveys and robust feedback mechanisms, homing in on issues like workload imbalances and unclear expectations. “Our goal is simple: create an environment where employees thrive—not just endure.”
