1) Five findings from survey that Lisa is to be concerned. Justify your answer.
A survey was conducted to identify satisfaction level of staff and their engagement with
work. this was easy for here to find out what issues are been faced by staff and what measures
can be taken to solve. It also gives an insight on what issues are prevailing and what it its impact
on well being of employees. Thus, from survey the 5 issues are as follows :-
High level of stress- from survey it can be identified that stress is issue among staff. This is
because as said, 90% of staff felt that in recent times their work has become stressful. This is
because in council people on part time basis. Moreover, when staff retire or leave, new candidate
are not appointed until a strong business case is developed. So, it increases pressure to other staff
as they have to do the remaining work. Alongside, 90% of staff also agreed that they sometimes
feel stressful at work. so, these two are the signs that current staff is working under a lot of
pressure. It impacts on their well being in negative way. their mental and physical health is
impacted to a great extent. However, it also led to health problems such as headache, pain in
eyes, etc. Due to high stress council is not able to manage staff. Many of them work only for
short period. (DeCenzo, Robbins and Verhulst, 2016)
Lack of support from senior manager- By analysing the survey it is determined that only 55%
of staff get support from line manager. Also, 20% of them are supported by senior manager. thus,
when they do not get support staff well being is impacted. Their mental health is impacted.
However, employee feel depressed and are not able to work in effective way. this is also a reason
that staff is working under high stress. They are not getting support from senior manager and due
to it their wok is not managed. Lisa should concern this as she needs to find out reason that why
