Assessment
Read through the following case study. You should reflect on your learning and your own
research within this unit.
Each case study is assigned 300 words + 10%. It is important that evidence be
referenced to current information using APA referencing style.
Case Study
Consider the following scenario.
You work for a small business, ABC Stationery, which supplies office supplies to small
and medium-sized businesses within the South East Queensland market. It has eight
staff members, and the business has started to grow. The CEO has asked that you look
at the current programs that promote personal effectiveness within the business. You
will also be asked to plan and develop an employee health and wellness program.
Here is the employee breakdown of ABC Stationery.
 Two business partners own the business
 Three administration staff
 One finance manager
 Two sales staff, who mostly work remotely
The projection is that, over the next 12 months, there will be an additional three staff
members employed, one of whom will be another member for the sales team.

This business has been operating for five years and has a good reputation for providing
quality customer service.
Currently, the only health program in place is a stretching exercise that happen at 3pm
daily and lasts for 10 minutes. There is an expectation that all staff members present
participate.
Office Employees
Six employees are based in the office. Their jobs are desk bound. During this period of
rapid growth, they are producing very high volumes of work, contributing to stressful
work conditions.

Employee Demographics
 Age Range: 35-55
 Even mix of men and women
 Six employees would be classified as overweight or obese
 Three employees are smokers
Task 1
Identify suitable methods for researching the specific health needs of these employees as
outlined. What type of data-gathering methods would you use? Attach samples of types of
information that you would be seeking.
Here are the two methods of researching which could be used to determine the health
needs of the employees:
1. Qualitative Research makes use of a description based researching approach in
which the person doing research is assisted to be very much specific. It is a kind of
research which is very costly and takes a lot of time. Moreover it has potential to do
research within a small target which will make their research more specific. Such a
kind of research gives the control in the hands of the researcher.
2. Quantitative research is done with an attempt to determine the connection between
two different elements in a specific population (Sharma, 2016). Such elements may
include the salary of the employee, efficiency, duration as well as the treatment.
Like in the case of this case study the sample is small and is in between the age
group of 35 to 55 years of age. The same is restricted to the employees of a
particular organisation, some might be addicted to smoking, alcohol while some
may be of the mix gender.
