On April 26, 2024, the Management Study Program of Universitas Bunda Mulia Ancol Campus began the series of Community Service activities with the theme “How to turn stress into high productivity.”

Stress is the body’s automatic response to any physical or mental demands placed on humans. Stress often occurs in employees in a company due to the targets and responsibilities assigned to them, which can lead to stress in performing their tasks and jobs. Stress levels are divided into 3 categories: low stress can lead to boredom, moderate stress can actually improve employee performance and efficiency, and high stress can cause unproductive anxiety. Stress triggers include situations, activities, and relationships that cause trauma to physical, emotional, or psychological conditions.

The event began with an opening by the MC and continued with remarks from PT Mecosin Indonesia.
