World Hepatitis Day 28 July

Professor Tom Jackson from Loughborough University in

U.K. has done extensive research on the impact of work email on health and
mental wellbeing. He had found a direct link between email use and increased
levels of stress as well as other health conditions such as hypertension,
thyroid disease, heart failure and coronary heart disease. Multi functional
devices like Blackberrys and iphones allow workers to be accessible 24 hours a
day and because of this it is likely that there will be an increase in stress levels.
Another concern is that many employees do not realize that they are stressed
,as in his study, users perceived themselves not to be stressed when the
physiological findings showed their bodies were under increased stress. This
would indicate that employees might find it difficult to self regulate their use
of communication media to ensure they do not become overwhelmed by
stress.
The significance of this is that long-term short sharp
increases such as this can lead to long term chronic health conditions. This
doesn't mean that email is a bad communication tool ,but poor email training
and management is the problem .By reducing the volume of irrelevant and
untargeted email and by reducing the frequency with which an email
application checks for new email ,the cost and this problem of raised stress
levels can be optimized.

Three beautiful thoughts

1. None can destroy iron, but its own rust can!
Likewise, none can destroy a person, but his own mindset can.
2. Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a
straight line even in an E.C.G. means we are not alive.

Welcome to the family of SNIMS

3. The same Boiling Water that hardens the egg, Will Soften the Potato!
It depends upon Individual's reaction To stressful circumstances
