quality of the workplace environment, to employee satisfaction and the climate at workplace. The aim of

wellbeing. On the contrary, many organizations have started focusing on the fact that wellbeing issues as
they previously were paying lesser attention towards needs of their employees. Stress management and
wellbeing issues are within the overall duty of employers that they owe to their employees. There are
potential issues that can affect the wellbeing of an employee and lack of recognizing these issues can lead
to an unsatisfied employee (O’neill and Davis, 2011). Workplace problems such as stress, conflict, bullying,
mental health issues demand the attention of employers. Internal communication and focus on
development and learning is a must for any organization to make its workplace more satisfying and decent
place. The growing trend shows that employers are adopting global health promotion policies to cover
issues concerning specific health problems affecting employees. Understanding the risks to employees in
relation to wellbeing and stress is increasingly important responsibility for modern employers (Baum,
2016).
Stakeholders identified and why (approx. 200 words)
Guidance:
Provide a summary stakeholder analysis – identify level of interest and influence on the project
Current organizational life often includes reduction in workforce, change in work patterns and increased
levels of uncertainty. A poorly handled organizational change can be a cause of stress in the workplace. It is
the responsibility and in the interest of the employer to manage the pressure to minimize the impact on
productivity. Managers who adopt good practice principles can handle the complexities of maintaining
wellbeing in the workplace. In order to maintain healthy working environment, the enlistment of internal
and external stakeholders is must to work together. This will facilitate a strategic approach to provide
support and wellness programs and generate awareness. Stakeholders often comprise of employers,
employees, senior management, line managers, Human resource specialists, union representatives,
hospital authorities, communities, and families. Employers should be involved in local and at national level
programs and projects that are designed to promote wellbeing and health of employee. Employers should
create a supportive environment in workplace by ensuring physical safety, healthy food, and physical
activity. Civil authorities and communities ensure that government and employers are held accountable for
the employee health and safety. Trade Unions ensure awareness among members of the benefits of
healthy living. Employees can themselves take part in workplace health improvement programs (Clarke and
Hill, 2012).

Anxiety, sleep disorders, and stress are vital signs that indicate that things are not well. It is natural for an
individual to extend these issues into their workplace which means these issues can affect their overall
productivity. When employees are suffering from such issues it is obvious that their performance within the
organization will substantially reduce. Individual performance is often linked with their mental condition
and ultimately affects the organization. At the end of spectrum of mental health, the employee will be
stressed, depressed with optimum psychological, physical and social wellbeing of employees. Although the
wellbeing of employees is an important topic for any organization, it can still be a taboo for many of them.
