organisation. The reports which is provided from this assessment are confidential and presented

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)- It refers to a perfect tool of performance tool that
provides carious methods in order to help companies to measure how good their employees,
units and projects are performing for achieving their organisational goals (Mone and London,

organisation are getting overworked, burnt out and overwhelmed they become unproductive in

use effective methods for making well being of their employees in order to make their employees

In many organisation, employees are need to put themselves hard for proving that they
are working hard for achieving the organisational goals. Sometimes they have to skip their lunch,
sleepless and throwing themselves in to their work in order to prove their managers that they are
highly dedicated in their work. This will leads poor health of their employees as well as they
become full tired while working in half steam. The well productive and highly functioning
employees are one who is well rested, happy, well fed and their physical and emotional needs are

For keeping employees loyal to their company- The employees who get effective
health perks in their organisation which includes comprehensive health plan or organisation
