Abstract

Women in India have demonstrated their abilities in the workplace. However, their success is rooted in a history of struggle and the pursuit of freedom within traditional social structures.  Despite their evolving roles in the workforce, women have also maintained their commitment to traditional household responsibilities. In the workplace, individuals have encountered significant stress, however they persistently strive to achieve their desired professional path in the current period. Stress is an inevitable aspect that affects every facet of workers. The majority of women have been seeking a way to alleviate tension. By examining the intersection of traditional expectations and modern aspirations, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexities faced by working women in India. Through interviews and case studies, the researchers hope to shed light on the ways in which women navigate societal norms while striving for professional success. While it is important to understand the challenges faced by working women, it is equally crucial to recognize that solutions may not always be transferable across different cultural contexts. Additionally, focusing solely on individual experiences may overlook systemic barriers that perpetuate gender inequality in the workplace. Ultimately, the goal is to empower women to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential in both their careers and personal lives. In this research, an attempt has been made to explore various strategies that women use to overcome stress and how it can be made as a mandatory solution in all companies. This empirical study identifies the various strategies which has been followed by women and the companies in relieving the stress and thereby creating a productive atmosphere.
