The Wellness Programme primarily prevents the issues of stress at the earliest stage to
control its long-term negative effects. However, it should also try to identify what are the
possible causes of stress at the workplace if it is due to absence of work-life balance or
burnout. By determining this, they can create solutions that will address the root-cause.
How should employees be selected for this type of program?
Engagement on this type of program should be voluntary and should include individuals
who are committed, cooperative, and comfortable. Employers can use certain metrics
such as productivity, collaboration and communication level with colleagues, and
frequency of absentee to determine employees who might benefit to the program.
What issue might this cause?
This program will entail additional cost to employers if they decide to include it as part of
employees' working hours. On the other hand, if this will be implemented as an activity
outside working hours, the participation rate might be low as everyone might not be
willing to extend their time at the workplace. Also, employees' participation on this type
of program should be kept confidential if this will not be offered to all employees as this
might create negative impact on the participants.
Answer:
Yes, complete implementation of the Wellness Program for Organizations is difficult.
Employers must fund the entire expense of the program. Many organizations now
provide morning workout programs in the office. However, the time required to do so has
resulted in fewer work hours. As a result, it may have an impact on productivity. Other
initiatives, such as providing one-on-one support with stress management, sleep
management, and lifestyle management, are difficult to implement since not all
employees are interested or able to participate in the program. A well-executed program,
on the other hand, can reduce health-care expenses, boost productivity, and promote
employee retention, lending credence to the link between personal health and job
pleasure.
There should be a close examination of employees and the environment created for
them. Ensure a fit space is created and have broad ideas that can be used to reduce
strass in the workplace. The ideas start with leadership examples and they should be
tailored to fit the workforce.
The following issues could impact successful uptake by staff on stress reduction across
the organization:
Step-by-Step explanation
1. Promote workplace health.
Exercise and a healthy lifestyle are two of the most effective ways to combat
professional stress. Employees' minds are diverted from the stress of their jobs by
exercise, allowing them to concentrate on the task at hand. Increased synthesis of
endorphins, the brain's feel-good chemicals, also enhances mood.
