Please Help me to Parse a Sentence

I am learning to parse English sentences. Could someone tell me whether I have parsed the following sentence correctly?


"Taking time off from work can be a good idea for those who are stressed."

“Taking time off from work”, which is a gerundial phrase, serves as a noun and complete subject of this sentence. “can be a good idea for those who are stressed” is the complete predicate. “can be” is a complex verb phrase, and “good idea” is the predicative adjective complement. “for those who are stressed” is a prepositional phrase.

Am I right?
