Healthcare in India is one of the fastest growing sectors. As an industry it comprises of hospitals, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical equipment. India’s competitive advantage is that of relatively large pool of well-trained medical professionals and relatively cost effective lifesaving clinical treatment in government hospitals. In today’s competitive world, work culture in government hospitals has gone through a transition. Government hospital work culture has changed than before due to increase in population base especially for a city like Mumbai. In other words, today’s resident medical doctor attends more patients per hour than earlier generation counterparts. As a result the number of stressors in their lives appears to be increasing. Work performance and quality of medical care administered to the patients can be compromised by over stressed doctors. In other words, stress can not only affect individual productivity but also hamper the organizational growth. Hence it is important to identify such stressors and act on the same. This will ensure work-life balance in the lives of the said doctors. The best way to deal with the same is to initiate stress management as a Human Resource policy in government hospitals of Mumbai. Through this paper attempt is made to resolve issues related with managing stress and increasing HR productivity of doctors at work place as well as at home. It suggests measures for government hospitals to nurture, retain and empower the doctors in the most efficient and effective manner without compromising on the personal front.
