The document discusses ideas for helping a stressed software engineer stakeholder reduce stress. It is suggested that the stakeholder practice yoga daily before work to relax, as yoga is proven to reduce stress. The stakeholder likes the yoga idea but is concerned about finding time due to her workload. An alternative idea of companies organizing regular stress-relief events is proposed but may be difficult to implement weekly. The stakeholder would appreciate relaxation during work hours and a chance to socialize with colleagues. It is concluded that yoga alone may not reduce the stakeholder's stress and she should also spend time with loved ones.

2. My hardworking and ambitious interviewee working as a
software engineer in a multinational company
STAKEHOLDER
relax and balance her time adequately between work
and her desires
NEEDS TO
BECAUSE
she is stressed and stress is neither good for health nor for
relationships.

3.  IDEA TO BE WORKED UPON-Spend
sometime meditating and doing yoga. It
will help to calm you down and keep
you more organized throughout the day.
 To judge the implementation and
effectiveness of the idea, I got in touch
with a yoga trainee to gain more insights
into the field. of yoga

4.  “It is a proven fact that yoga helps in
stress reduction.”
 Yoga is easy to implement as all it needs
is a little space and a strong will to do
yoga.
 Yoga also helps in lowering the high
blood pressure which often
accompanies people who are stressed.

5.  Child's Pose (Balasana)
 Bridge Pose (Setu Bandha Sarvangasana)
 Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana)
 Eagle Pose (Garudasana)
 Corpse Pose (Savasana)
 Extended Triangle Pose (Utthita Trikonasana)
 Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparita Karani)
 Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana)
 Cat Pose (Marjaryasana)
 Dolphin Pose

6.  CONCLUSION- The idea will surely help my
stakeholder to beat stress.
 STAKEHOLDER’S VIEW: “I like your idea. It
will help me keep fit as well as beat my
stress. But since I am already overloaded
with work I don’t know how far I can
squeeze out time for doing yoga”
 MY SUGESSTION-Wake up half an early
everyday and practice yoga before you
leave for work.

7.  IDEA TO BE WORKED UPON-The
organizations/company should organize an event
every Wednesday or any other day to relief the
employees from the workload. This will start a new
trend and will serve as a problem solver to a huge
bunch of stressed employees/workers.
 To judge the implementation and
effectiveness of the idea, I got in touch
with HR of a company to gain more insights
into the idea.

8.  “The employees are our biggest resource
and we are concerned about their well
being but organizing an event every week
is a tough job. Moreover, I am concerned
that these events will keep the employees
preoccupied with the thoughts of the event
even after the event is over.”
 “Though it is difficult to organize events on a
weekly basis we will see if we can organize
it on a monthly basis.”

9.  STAKEHOLDER’S VIEW
 “It will be absolutely wonderful if we can
have some relaxation during the work
hours itself.”
 “It will not only help reduce stress but also
give us a chance to know each other
well.”

10.  Only practicing yoga will not help my
stakeholder to beat stress. Along with it
she should also mingle with her loved
ones to gain overall peace and lead a
stress free life.

11.  I would have worked hard to bring in a
trend of organizing fun events in the
company on a regular basis.
