WHAT THIS MOVEMENT STANDS FOR — AND WHAT IT DOESN'T
A movement for justice, wellness, and systemic office reform
Not a blame game against individuals or companies
A people-powered consultative process that includes professionals, their families, employers, health experts, and policymakers
Not a rigid, top-down checklist imposed without listening
A political promise to embed workplace wellbeing into Kerala’s and India’s growth vision
Not a fleeting wellness fad or or quick-fix activity

A private
office matter

OFFICE UNWELLNESS -
A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
Burnout, Broken Families, Untimely deaths. Office unwellness is not just about stress, it’s not a personal issue. it’s a public health crisis. Last year, India lost a young woman, Anna Sebastian, to the crushing weight of workplace stress. She was not the first, and heartbreakingly, she may not be the last. Across the country, professionals like Anna are suffering in silence. Offices meant for growth have become sites of burnout and unwellness.
As it always has in times of crisis, the Congress Party, with the All India Professionals’ Congress, is stepping up. Together, we are taking action to defend every professional’s right to dignity, balance, and wellbeing at work.

AIPC’S COMMITTMENT TO BRING THE
OFFICE WELLNESS GUIDLINES
On Sep 21, 2024, the Hon. Leader of Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhiji had a video conversation with the parents of Ms. Anna Sebastian. He had promised the parents of Ms. Anna that we will take this issue very seriously and ensure better work conditions for all working professionals in Anna's memory.
In keeping with that promise, the All India Professionals Congress is launching a “For Anna, For All” campaign. This will be a sustained people- powered campaign to draft guidelines for better and healthier office conditions for all professionals in Kerala, as a commitment by the Indian National Congress. We will include everyone's voice - professionals, their parents, employers and experts
