Cells are to the body, employees are to an organization. Cells are the most basic and fundamental unit of an organism. A collection of similarly functioning cells forms a tissue, a tissue further forms an organ, an organ an organ system and ultimately the organism's body. 1. COMMUNICATION GAP The biggest problem with any relationship is the lack of communication. And that extends beyond the personal life and into the work life. 2. BIASED PAY It’s hard to find an employee who thinks they make too much money. So the best employers can do is live up to fair-wage standards. 3. UNDER APPRECIATION When an employee feels unappreciated at work, the stress it creates can have a fatal blow to the company’s productivity and bottom line. 4. OVERBURDEN If you’ve never felt overworked at one time in your career, you probably don’t have a pulse. Aside from not getting paid enough, this is probably the most common employee complaint have – whether it’s true or not. 5. FAVOURITISM Anytime someone receives special treatment at work, it’s bound to ruffle the feathers of fellow employees. 6. AMATEURISH MANAGERS There’s at least one in every company. The man or woman who people shake their head at and ask, “How in the world did they get that job?” 7. NO OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCEMENT Finding yourself with a ceiling over your career is not a good place for an employee to be in. The first step is taking an honest look at the situation and listing the reasons you’re not getting promoted. 8. MICROMANAGEMENT Everyone’s had the micromanaging boss breathing down their neck. The boss that’s involved is great. The one who’s over-involved can be a nightmare. The micromanager shows little trust in employees and robs them of the ability to do their job. 9. NO JOB SECURITY With outsourcing, downsizing, globalization, and pressure to meet the bottom line, job security has become a scarce commodity. Having so many issues takes a toll on the performance of employees. Making it important for the employers to take a minute and think about how they can take care of wellness of employees.But wellness programs can be quite costly to arrange, that’s why it is important to make a wellness plan for employees that too on a low budget.
Employee break areas and meeting rooms should be stocked with plenty of healthy low-fat snacks instead of salty or sugary ones. • Walk / Bike Paths: It costs next to nothing to establish an area around the company building for a walking or biking path. • Chill - Out Zones: Every office needs at least one “safe” area where employees can cry, vent, or distress after a, particularly tough day. Create space in your building where employees can get this out of their system without the embarrassment of losing it in front of peers. • Employee Assistance Program: These very low-cost programs give employees the ability to call a caring counselor about any area of their work or personal life to get confidential support when they need it the most. Water is essential for a healthy mind and body, therefore your office should provide fresh water at all times. • Workable Work Schedules: A zero cost benefit that gives employees more work-life balance is a huge perk for many working people, especially those who are caring for others or raising kids. Employees may skip meals or make unhealthy meal choices when they are too busy or stressed out. • Plants in the Office: Too many offices and workplaces are filled with stuffy, recycled air that can make employees feel sluggish. • Exercise Clubs: Make the workplace fun and encourage employees to get up and moving with exercise clubs for walkers, runners, and those who love organized sports. • Employee Incentives: When employees make the ultimate choice to get healthy, lose weight, or break a bad habit, they often respond well to incentives like peer recognition, movie tickets, and reduced health insurance costs – things you can support. • Group Outings: Company picnics, team building, and other group outings can be very beneficial to employee well-being. Give managers the ability to schedule these outings at least once or twice a year for their teams. • Paid Voluntary Insurance: Voluntary benefits can be very inexpensive and provide just the wellness support that employees need. They can also reduce financial stress by giving employees a buffer against the worry about health and retirement concerns.
