New Delhi, Sep 30 (PTI) In a move that highlights the increasing concern over the well-being of chartered accountants, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has announced the establishment of a dedicated group focused on stress management. This development comes in the wake of the tragic death of a chartered accountant, allegedly caused by overwhelming work pressure.
The ICAI, which serves as the apex body for chartered accountants in India, has recognized the need to address the escalating stress levels among its members. As part of its efforts to provide support and promote mental well-being, the institute will introduce a counselling help desk. This initiative aims to provide a safe and confidential space for chartered accountants to discuss their concerns and receive professional guidance.
Furthermore, the newly formed group will play a crucial role in suggesting additional stress management measures. The group will comprise experts from various fields, including mental health professionals, chartered accountants, and industry specialists. Their recommendations will be instrumental in shaping the ICAI's strategy to mitigate the impact of work-related stress on its members.
The ICAI's Peer Support System is another significant aspect of its stress management plan. This system will connect chartered accountants who are struggling with stress or other personal issues with peers who have experienced similar challenges. By facilitating open discussions and sharing of experiences, the Peer Support System aims to foster a sense of community and promote emotional support among its members.
The chartered accountants' apex body has emphasized its commitment to addressing the issue of stress and promoting the overall well-being of its members. By acknowledging the gravity of the situation and taking proactive measures, the ICAI hopes to create a healthier work environment and reduce the risk of work-related stress affecting the lives of chartered accountants.
As the news of the chartered accountant's tragic death continues to send shockwaves throughout the profession, the ICAI's initiatives serve as a beacon of hope for those who are struggling. By working together to address the issue of stress, the institute aims to create a safer, more supportive community for all its members.
