Hi Trishna,
Welcome to the forum, it's nice to meet you. I'm not
sure this forum (hef) is the best resource for you to
find the help you are looking for, but you are more
than welcome to post your message here any time.
Wishing you all the best,
Kim

But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about me. I am Trishna and I am the Special Projects General Manager at Aashwasan Life Enhancement Services Pvt. Ltd. I essentially head various projects such as ARC, Cancer, Deaddication, Depression and many more. In our need at Aashwasan to make a difference, we began to realize that there are very significant trends of people being stressed out in organizations. However, we didnt realize how significant the problem was, or for that matter the urgency with which we needed to respond till we did a little research.

>The data we found was hard to ignore. WHO has conducted an indepth study all over the world and has come to the conclusion that over 66% deaths are caused by Non communicable diseases. One of the leading diseases responsible for this - cardiovascular disease. Root cause - stressful lifestyle. Most employers respond from subjective need to empower their employees.

>My source of worry comes from the fact that companies are concerned but only a handful of them realize the significance of contribution of human factor. These concerns are seriously affecting not only the health of individuals but also that of organizations all over the world. Over 40 million working days are lost to absenteeism due to various issues such as depression, back problems etc. 93% of people cite cold and flu as a reason for being absent. 84% of the bottom-line is impacted because of this. As employers, we can no longer be subjective in our concern for people who work with us.

>International bodies have taken this very seriously and are no longer using GDP as parameter to evaluate a country’s performance, but GWI (Gross wellbeing Index). These are already being adopted by countries. WHO is seriously concerned about these issues, and is going to implement world wide initiative in the coming year on preventive health. We are not only heading towards changes but also have pressing problems at our hands.

>At Aashwasan we are keen to bring a significant difference to each person’s life. We don’t want to wait till the economy collapses and central bodies get so concerned as to pass policies for human beings and there by organisations be healthier. We want to do something today.

>We have services that can help people. There are people out there who need help. We need your help to bridge the gap. Please let me know how we can take it forward.

>Wanting to connect with various people like you who can help us create a ripple effect in the society. Please let me know if and how we can seek your support.
