Changes occurring at macro level viz technology, competition, compliance, risk level, regulation etc. is perhaps contributing to this shift of physical stress to mental stress. Now faced with the challenges of ever increasing mental stress which is seemingly unbearable for some of our banker colleagues and it has resulted into some unfortunate incidents in recent past.
